Faux Happiness

by SarahShalomDavid

Sarah David is the daughter of ZIVA and JETHRO. This is a poem written by her, for her back story read some of my other fics

I fake a smile so you don't see

I'll be whoever you want me to be

Learnt when I was little that people don't care

They ask "Are you okay?" but they don't want you to share

As a kid I learnt to lie

So for forgiveness I pray to the sky

A smile, an "Im fine", a laugh, and a false sense of happiness

You fall for it and think I live without any stress

Pull back the sleeves of happinesss, and etched upon the skin

Of fake smiles, and "I'm okay"s is the deep lines of a pin

A smile that fails to reach the eyes, A laugh that is so obviously fake

You see all the faux happiness, you know what'll cover it? I'll bake you a cake

Muscles weak, Bones protrude, Darkness swims inside my mind, Scars show,

Bruises fade and go away, the rules stay embedded in my mind so Why do try and make me more low?

Tears fall, and it makes me hope that heaven has curtains, for angels should not see

What is left of stupid me
