The happy mask
Damn this heart,
It won't stop breaking,
This hole in my chest,
It won't stop aching,
A smile on my face,
I can't stop faking,
For others sake,
My feelings forsaking,
I keep saying inside,
"Everything's fine.",
Trying so hard,
To believe my own lies...
It won't stop breaking,
This hole in my chest,
It won't stop aching,
A smile on my face,
I can't stop faking,
For others sake,
My feelings forsaking,
I keep saying inside,
"Everything's fine.",
Trying so hard,
To believe my own lies...

For some, The happy mask works. For others, comfort is found in the heart that keeps on beating until "Everything's fine.", for real. Thanks for sharing your verse.
