Happy Lies

I’m trying too hard
To convince you,
But it has worked
And I’ve got you fooled.
You think
I’ve completely healed from this.
You think
I’m completely okay now.
You think
I’ve completely gotten over this
And now you’re completely wrong.
I’ve completely fooled you
And I hide my true self away,
Forever concealed behind this wall of happiness,
Forever hidden behind my smile.
My lies of happiness have got you fooled.
My cheerful smile,
My joyful expression,
My happy face,
It all says that I’m doing just fine
So you won’t suspect a thing
From my happy lies.
