faking it.

i skip through daisies.
and stop to smell the roses.

i smile all the time.
and see rainbows through poses.

i hardly cry during the day.
and never look back anymore.

my life is peaches and cream.
and my heart is no longer sore.

i laugh all the time.
and never think twice.

i know every inch of my pain.
and it was well worth the price.

i love you, i mean it.
and you are something true.

i don't hate you, i promise.
and i swear, your happiness i will pursue.

i don't have a heart that is hurt.
and it wasn't busted open wide.

i can smile through my tears.
and in weakness, i never reveal my pride.

i am happy where i am, you see.
and the confusion, i plan on taking it.

i am not telling the truth at all.
in fact, i am just faking it.
