Fool-Proof Smile

so suffocated in this state i call hate you could look at me and not notice a single tense muscle because underneath this frown, this fool-proof smile there’s anxiety, depression and it’s keeping me down i can’t acknowledge the fact i’m losing you i can’t acknowledge the fact i’m being ignored every single word i say comes out my mouth and retracts back after i am scolded. nothing i say can ever come out right if i could i’d stay up all night, to prove my truth all i need is an ear to hear me out but you’re far too busy tuning out the truth behind the lies, the frown beneath that fool proof smile and all i ever wanted was for you to listen. listen twice then, then you can tune me out.
