Lie
By: Nessa

I'll smile today.
Act like nothing's wrong.
Pretend I'm a-okay.
Today I will be strong.
No tears, no sorrow, no fears.
I won't confide in anyone.
I'll smile, laugh, and play.
Today I'll just have fun.
I'll smile today,
Even though inside I cry.
I'll shove aside my pain.
Today I'll have to lie.
Because, no one may notice,
But this smile lacks truth.
Meaning gone, inside I die,
And I don't know what to do.
My insides twist and turn,
But I swear I will be strong.
Don't ask me what's the matter:
I'll just lie with, "Nothing's wrong."
