This is my fake smile
by Michael A. Kiely
what will i be when i am older?
will my brother be ok?..alive?
will i be ok?...dead?
will i be successful?..or be a noone?
this is my fake smile
the smile of all smiles
to cover up
all my fears and pain
can i stay with my friends forever?
no?...i know i cant
but i can try, just let me try
will i grow older?
of course ill grow older
will i forget everyone i know now?
i pray i dont
this is my fake smile
to let you think im alright
when inside im nothing
with no light.
