Facade Poem by Beau Bennett

I appear happy but inside I'm not
I act content while internally I rot
A smile on my face is how I appear
But I would have to frown if I tried to be sincere
I can act happy and full of life
But my insides are hiding and full of strife
My soul is dead but I'm still alive
My body is a shell because my soul couldn't survive
I smile to make others feel complete
But my inside person just couldn't compete
