Fake Happy

The nicest gift
I can get
When I’m sad
Is for people
Not to make me
Fake happy

Even if

I’ve been sad too long
Need to move on
Should look on the bright side
Or see the gift in the pain
I can’t yet
Or won’t

So just let me

Come as I am
Be who I am
Answer honestly
When you ask
How things are

I will enter

Into your world
As best I can

Won’t drag you

Too far
Into my world

Won’t ask

For help
Solving problems
That are mine
To solve

Will do just about anything

You need me to do

Just please

Don’t make me
Fake happy
