Fake smile

I smile,
Try to hide my true emotions.
It's all so fake,
People think I'm happy -
They see my smile,
Don't realise
I'm hiding the truth.
I've not been happy for so long,
But if others were to know
I would get no space,
I'd end up back in prison,
The poor soul on suicide watch.
So I wear a smile,
But a fake one.
The lies, the deception,
Hidden by my outward expression.
My inner emotional torment,
I don't express.
I need to smile,
But I'm not happy,
So the smile I wear is not genuine.
Fake smile -
Another lie,
The coward hiding her true feelings.
That is me.
