Even though my heart was broken,
I kept smiling for them,
But then they told me to stop,
Because I reminded them of someone dying,
And I always wondered,
Why didn't they realise?
Even when they said the words themselves.
I was dying,
But they told me to stop acting,
That's when I realised something,
I wasn't living for them,
Or for myself,
I was living because they got used to me standing there in the shadow,
And humans hate change,
I was only alive so there perfect little world stay that way,
Perfect,
