Fake Happy

Everyday I mark that I am great

And just need a little space

But the truth I don’t communicate

Is I’m about to break

So if you see me smiling

It’s probably cause of Duloxetine

Just know on the inside

I’m full of heart ache

And every days like Halloween

When you live you life just like me

If you always lie they’ll never

See it in your face

So I sit and smile at my therapist

Give a nod and a confirming yes

Convincing myself

That I am fine

“You are doing just so great

I can see the progress you have made”

Crying behind

This mask upon my face

And every days like Halloween

When you live your life just like me

If you always lie they’ll never

Know they are lies

And every days like Halloween

And everyone’s the same

We lie, we steal to get ahead

We’re victims of the race

So if I see you walking by

With a blatant smile on your face

I’ll hope that it is genuine

And you just won first place
