I’m fine....

Everyday I wake up with a smile on my face,

Maybe it's not real,

But I'd rather not have tears take its place.

I'm on the brink of breaking,

I can't hold it all in.

My bottle's full,

My demons are screaming,

The real me is an inch away from leaving.

Give me a break,

Please don't leave.

Hold me till I can get back on my feet.

I'm fine.....

But I'm not.

I want to let the tears flow down my face.

These days it's so hard to pretend to be happy,

When I have too much pain bottled up inside of me.
