• I'll be ok,
    is that what you want me to say?
    That I'm not broken hearted,
    just shattered?

    I'm fine,
    is what they want to hear.
    Not completely hurt,
    only dead inside.

    Me smiling,
    is what everyone wants to see.
    Not crying myself to unconsciousness,
    wishing to sleep forever.

    I'm happy,
    that's the image the crowd wants.
    Not the lonely freak,
    just wishing she was gone.

    I'm laughing,
    is the image I will keep.
    Not silently screaming,
    wishing I could take off my mask.

    I'll be fine,
    is what you might want me to be.
    That I don't remember everything,
    just the pain of you leaving.
