Expressions
When he was with his friends
That was when he needed to smile
Make them feel that all was well
That he was happy to fit in with their plans
Happy to help
Happy to give an opinion on the next impending disaster
Happy to pick up the pieces when it all fell through
No need to worry though, as it will all be over soon
In front of the other kids
That too was when he needed to smile
After all, this was the only way to make the sale
So he could convince them that this time they were sincere
Convince them they were safe
Convince them that this was not a scam
Convince them that it was an accident when it went oh so predictably wrong
No need to worry though, only a few more hours to go
At home with his parents
Once again he was required to smile
Because to them he was the perfect child
Always willing and striving for their love
Willing to make them smile
Willing to make them proud
Willing to take the punishments whenever anything went amiss
No need to worry though, as now darkness falls around the room
Finally alone
Finally he could let his smile fall
And let the tears take over that he had been fighting all day long
If only he was braver so he could let his true expressions show
Braver so he could tell them how he feels
Braver so he could fight back
Braver so he could end it all, but he knows that will never happen
No need to worry though, maybe tomorrow will be better...
Yay, my first fanfic... well... finficcy poetry dealy anyway... so yeh, please

porridge exploded in the microwave again this morning for the 3rd time this
week... Pretty Please
