Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

The past is now put behind me,
but the memories are still in my head,
The teasing used to kill me,
But i realise that i'm now dead.

I now have my story,
My Poem, My Life line,
I try to act cheerful,
My smile not worth a penny or Dime.

They think I'm so happy,
But they haven't seen my heart,
I used to be this cheerful,
until someone broke my heart.

They think im crying with laughter,
But im just crying,
im smiling on the outside ,
but on the inside im dying.
