Forgotten how to smile.

It's sort of like..,
you feel a heavy, almost unbearable weight
pushing down on you, forcing you to be
the one who smiles. All the time.
You go along with it for so long,
that you get to the point where
you have forgotten you were.
Who you are.
...what do you do [with yourself],
when you've forgotten how to smile?
Do you stay inside your bed for weeks;
not sleeping, not thinking, not eating,
not living...

Can anyone even answer that question
or are people just running around
with masks on, pretending they are
living their lives, persuading
others to live their lives.
When in reality they are all just a
bunch of hypocrites that have
forgotten how to smile.
