Deceitful Smile

I put on a smile, 

one that while it feels real,

is so fake anyone can tell.

This false smile is old

and tells many lies,

but this false smile is me.

It is all I have,

and all I will ever be.

I do not mean to lie to my loved ones

and I do not mean to be sad,

but when happiness abandons you,

you too will learn.

Though your smile is fake 

and it lies to everyone around you

it is the only happiness you have.
