Fake Smiles

I see you walking by,
like you’re barely making it through the day.
You think no one cares,
or sees your screaming tears.
You smile,
then look down,
with your face to the ground.
Your face is faking happiness,
while your heart is screaming let me out of this,
this world where people judge,
they never like to eat fudge,
that just means one more calorie on the daily atomy.
They put up such a fuss,
because we wear a size plus.
It’s okay to cry,
it’s okay to be afraid to die.
Just keep trying,
and always shoot for the sky.
I’m not just saying this,
trying to act delirious,
I’m saying this from the heart,
because that’s just where it starts.
I know how you feel,
to spill all your guts out,
to look at all the other girls,
all you want is perfection,
but it really doesn’t exist.
It’s just all one of them old myths.

(2014)
