Autobiography

You smile to the crowd
you cry to yourself
you say you are okay out loud
when you just feel like an empty shelf

You hide yourself in the dark
you break your own heart
it seems like you were lost from the start
tell me,
why do you try to be someone else so hard?

You say it's okay
with that smile so weak so fake
you say it's alright
why do you keep up with these lies?

You keep on pretending you are fine
yet you keep crying at night
you keep on going around with that fake smile
yet you say everything is alright

You go around without seeing what's wrong
and still you try to pretend to be strong
you have been scared for so long
that now you are just all alone

No matter what you say
you will always be a coward as you are today
since you can't even try to stop this pitiful fate
No matter how it is
it seems like you keep fading away
you keep being so fake so lame
so lame that you can't even write this poem in first person
with your own name
