Mask

I stare blankly And without purpose As I try to hide what’s going on inside my mind I think about telling you But decide against it Because I don’t think you’d care So we talk about the weather instead Just another conversation Another day of concealing Random words make random phrases And they all mask the problem I produce a fake smile As you hold this conversation with excitement Thinking it’s the one we’re supposed to be having I wish I could tell you everything So you’d understand how broken I am You deserve an explanation For my dying eyes My Fading smile And my infrequent laughs I don’t even know if you’d care Or if you’ve noticed any of this But in case you have I’m sorry But I’m not okay And I’ll tell you about it soon
