Don’t judge a book by its cover

vividvoid14

Behind every smile, I'm dying inside

With every laugh, I'm in pain

I look so happy, and I act like I enjoy life

But in truth, it's a burden, it's not worth the fight

My heart carries a weight, it's a burden too strong to bear

I feel trapped, with no way out, my pain is always here

It's hard to keep smiling, when I'm drowning in despair

But I do it anyway, cause I'm too tired to care

I act like everything's fine, like I have it all together

But in reality, I'm just trying to make it through the weather

So please forgive me, if I don't always seem like the happiest thing

Cause behind every smile, I'm dying inside, and with every laugh, I'm in pain

    Your comment about your poem is wise. You mostly did succeed. I won’t repeat anything about the pronouns since you already admitted you didn’t go back to fix things
