smiling for you
Apr 1, 2021
i smile
so you feel at ease.
so you don’t worry.
because the worst thing i could do
is worry you
even if i’m worth worrying for.
you ask me every day how i am
i say fine.
every
single
day.
because god forbid one day i’m not
what would happen?
i don’t have the guts to find out.
you would understand
you’ve been through it
the same pain i have.
but we can’t talk
i don’t know the reasons why
but we just can’t.
so i smile
and say
i’m good.
every single day.
maybe one day i’ll believe my own lie.
