Leaks Out
I wake to cry.
Living this thing,
This thing called life.
Every day it's always the same.
For the world around me.
A fake face,
A fake smile,
But hidden, always hidden.
My pain.
You see only what I let you.
Nothing is real,
My happiness is fake.
A dreamed illusion.
I'm happy as far as you can see.
But it's the things that hide,
Beneath the pale surface.
That makes me,
As I am.
The tears that stain my cheeks,
My sheets and everything that is me.
Leaks out.
