Hiding Behind Humor

There's a lot you can
hide behind humor.
No one suspects
the girl laughing,
her head thrown back
and a grin across her face
But you never know, do you?

It's on the inside that counts.

shiny hair: check
high heels:check
fake smile plastered on: check
don't forget makeup to cover up those dark circles: check
"How are you?"
"Fine."

I'm melting,
like the witch they say,
slowly fading from
what old memories tell me to be
The clothes are itchy
against my burning skin
Hollow cheeks and carved in stomachs
"How are you?"
"Fine."
