Eyes
It's second nature,
Laugh, smile, talk on cue,
Being fake is all I've ever known,
Showing my true self I can never do.
Acting so sure of who I am,
Pretending I'm always okay,
Telling someone what they want to hear,
Just because it's the right thing to say.
This is what I act like,
So society can't hurt my ego,
But real me is oh so broken,
Therefor my true self can never show.
I shall cover up the truth,
With a thick coat of lies,
My acts single flaw,
The untold story in my eyes.

This is some good reading. I think that a lot of people can relate to this at some point in their life, but especially people like me, who feel this way almost twenty four seven. Although, the anonymity of this website allows me to feel more secure in my posts, so you probably won't notice this in me.

Thank you c: yeah, I really like this website, as people encourage you rather than talk you down. People are so nice here!
