The moment I wake up
I put on my mask,
I walk through the day
with a smile on my face.
I see all those people with their perfect lives
and I just smile,
even I want to cry.
I hide my feelings,
I don't want them to see my pain.
I pretend to be strong
even inside I'm weak.
I live day by day
with a false smile on my face.
People think that I'm really happy
but the truth is that I'm so empty.
My only wish is to find a place,
a place where I belong,
I don't want to be alone,
any more.

I think we all feel like this at one point or another. I always feel fake when I act around friends sometimes, because I'm afraid that my normal self would just be 'boring' or 'depressing'. It's a normal emotion.
