My heart is beating slow
My breathing is a little shallow
I feel so sad, I feel discouraged.

I smile and say hello,
Nodding to my left and right.

But behind my happy face
My little heart is breaking,
It's dying.

I clench my jaw and fists
I squeeze my eyes
I choke back those salty tears.

Sometimes I think no one cares
I find it hard to bear
Tearing at my heart.

I put on my happy face
But behind my painted smile
I'm crying
I'm dying
