A false Smile
is what I bear
just for you.
The laughter and happiness
is also a facade.
It is all meant to make you think
I'm perfectly fine,
when really
I'm not.
When you aren't around
the mask comes off
and I'm able to be myself --
the same miserable,
lonely,
unhappy person
I have been
for far too long.
But please...
be around me.
Make me wear that smile,
and laugh,
and be happy.
Just don't go away...at least...
not until those things
are made real.
