Fake Smile

Every day I see people

On the news

Having been bullied

Or are alone and abused

I know that their lives

Leave them so sad

Or maybe just tired

Lonesome

Mad

And I know next to them

With all of their life problems

I have nothing to complain about

So I must have no sorrow

But if that is so

Why do I feel so empty

Like someone has left

Left me only a penny

But if that is so

Why do I feel so lost

Traveling in circles

To big of a cost

And if that is so

Why am I so depressed

I feel like life's not worth living for

I don't know what comes next

Then I ask myself

"What happens now?"

Fake a smile

Find a way down
