In the halls
I get pushed
Laughed at
Teased
When I sit with my friends
The same thing happens
I feel lonely
I know I'm not physically lonely
But in my mind
I'm lonely
I hate being lonely
I hate being sad
Masking it with a fake happy smile
Because when a person smiles
They automatically think the person is happy
And alright
In reality
That's not the case
Not for me
It is a mask I am hiding behind
I force a smile on my face
Everyday
So people don't have to worry
I hate being a burden
It's annoying
I don't want to be annoying
So I am happy
Pretending
