A Smile Is To Hard Poem by No Reason To Care

everyone tells me to smile
and I always do
but it's never real
I just make it seem like its true
but they never notice that its fake
and it's the easiest thing for me to make

a smile is too hard
because sometimes
I let down my guard
and once in a while someone will notice something's wrong
when I'm not smiling and singing a happy song

but I assure them all is fine
and that I'm having a wonderful time
but when I get home
and sit all alone
in my dark room
it feels like my tomb

so I go to the bathroom and
I look into the mirror
to search for my soul
all I see is a shadow
longing to be made hole

but no one else sees it
its only me
because every one believes the lie
that deep down inside I'm happy
