No One Knows

I smile a lot,
And I look so confident,
But no one knows,
That this disguise is heaven sent.
I talk clearly,
And I look in control,
But no one knows,
That deception fills my soul.
I move with ease,
And I look like I'm so sure,
But no one knows,
That fear shakes me to the core.
I act so brave,
And I look like I'm happy,
But no one knows,
How the pain is destroying me.
I fool everyone,
And I try to fool myself too,
But no one knows,
The hell I'm really going through...
