Forcing A Smile Poem by Kaysen Fraker
Forcing A Smile
I put on a fake face
just to keep you happy
forcing a smile
hiding what I really feel
The anger building
the hate boiling
my blood running hot
through my steaming veins
I hope you’re happy
for making me hide who I am for so long
I don’t even remember
what my real face looks like
The face in the mirror
a stranger
even to me
after all this time
I hate the face I show you
I hate the face I hide from you
one for being fake
the other for being scared
Why I can't show my face
I don't know
but what I do know
is it hurts
I want to take off my mask
and end my pain
but I don't
in fear of inflicting it on you

We often hide ourselves to conceal what we feel or to try to protect someone, and it can be hard. We have to just let the real us show otherwise we will collapse from the pain. A great poem.
