How Many Times

Have we killed ourselves
in our head?
Pretending we are what we’re not
Hoping no one would notice
the anger that lurks behind

Have we smiled
and smiled
and smiled
Cramped cheeks and welled eyes
As pleasant as a heart in need

Maybe then
we’ll get used to it and really be
And we fit in
