Facade

Alone, not really, but that's how it seems constricted and breathless is how I’d describe me.
My shoulders sag, but not because I'm weak, but because I have been carrying this weight for so long that it's imprinted into me all the while I'm flashing this smile that could've fooled Even me.
My laughter echoes throughout the room because I'm trying so hard not to reveal the real me manipulative right ? but if I didn't do it, who would be there to care from me to dry my eyes hold my hand and comfort me I've been imprisoned in my own mind for so long that I don't want anyone to try to free me.
What's the world beyond here?
Have to give me ?… I don't know.
And I couldn't dare wander out and go see because what good is this world if the reflection of the strong girl I've been seeing turns out to not really be me?
