Hiding the Pain

My mask covers everything

The fake painted smile

Carefully put at an angle 

that has been proved to induce happiness

I can sit here in a quiet pose

and not one would suspect

The parts inside are falling slowly

I feel as though I may need those parts in the future

but I can't help the fractures

I am unwillingly falling apart at the seams

I wish for the simple life

Something without trauma

or pain, racing thoughts

Those I could do without

Wishful thinking though,

Right ?
