Smile

If I always smile
That means I'm fine right?
Then others won't worry
Now I start to sink

If I'm not helpful 
I'm useless right?
Then my mind goes to dark places
The more I sink 

The more I think
There goes my mind
The more I fall
Looking for something I can't find 

Trying my best
It's not enough
I try to stay afloat
But the water starts to enter my throat
The further I sink
