i smile at you,
even though it doesn't reach my eyes
you don't notice.
you walk on by, and never ask if i'm really fine
you assume my life is perfect,
that i'm just a positive person
but i'm really just putting on a mask
for the world to see
inside, i'm dying to be noticed.
i'm falling down
with no one to catch me.
i'm broken inside
but of course,
you don't see me
for who i am-
inside.

I really like how honest it is. You're not trying to hide your emotions in long exagerated pointless sentances, instead you say what you want and it touches the reader. whenever I read something I can relate to I always love it, and thus I love it =P
