Behind the facade

I gave up on everything, I gave up on everyone. I know this is a heaven, but I just don't think it was meant for me. If you knew me you would judge me for all those mistakes So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face and act like everything is alright as I try not to break. My smile is like the love you gave me but all along it was fake

This is heartbreakingly honest. The line about smiling through the pain really hits deep—so many carry invisible battles. You're not alone.
