My Life

~Deception

My lips twitched upwards, smiling happily,

Words escaped their mouthsㅡI could not hear, but I still smile,

I have to make them believe.

My body shook, laughter echoing around me as I joined them gleefully,

They say it was hilariousㅡI could not understand, but I laugh, nontheless,

I assume I am naive.

Harsh words were exchanged in a joking manner,

I shrugged it offㅡI could not stop the pain, but I thanked sarcasm for being by my side,

Why make my heart suffer?ㅡI can only grieve.

Then, I'm alone,

My cheerful smile fades,

Laughter turns to loud, heartwrenching sobs,

Words become a silver, sleek bladeㅡa brush,

My body becomes the canvas, and I drawㅡa work of art,

I could only feel relief.

Nothing is real, life is just a playㅡI act as a happy person,

But who is truly happy?ㅡeverything is fake,

I sigh in disbelief.

My whole life is a lie,

Everyone believes I am happyㅡI do not care,

I will continue to deceive.
