Pinned To My Face

You see me smiling
laughing and talking
and see me having fun.

You think that I am happy
But how can that be?
How could anyone be?

I'm stuck in a world of annoyance
of cruelty and hate.
So how could you smile after all that you've seen.
For me it's just too much.

Day after day it's all the same
Same schedule, plans, and life.
I want something more to fill my day.
I want to enjoy what I do.

But as for now I walk the halls
passing into grief.
And pinning a smile on my face
To make the best of it.
