Fake Face

My heart is beating slow
my breathing is a little shallow
I feel so sad, I feel discouraged.

I smile and say hello,
nodding to my left and right.

But behind my happy face
my little heart is breaking,
it\'s dying.

I clench my jaw and fists
I squeeze my eyes
I choke back those salty tears.

Sometimes I think no one cares
I find it hard to bear
Tearing at my heart.

I put on my happy face
but behind my painted smile
I\'m crying
I\'m dying
