I fake a smile
and my smiling eyes deceive
causing you to believe
that no pain exists inside
I force a laugh
the sounds I make deceive
causing you to believe
that I'm happy at this time
I fabricate these things
hoping to deceive
wanting you to believe
so I don't have to deal
with the things that I feel.

Powerful
For 14 years I have worked with shattered souls. Shattered long ago by the images and abuses of their childhood. Safer not to feel they wane emotions, easier to pretend then to feel. You have written a very siithing piece. Normalizing a walk upon a delicate rope!
Bravo!
