-Smile, things are perfectly fine
-Smile, life’s so Devine
-Smile, to not would be a crime, even though deep inside I feel no where near sublime
-Smile, I hope no one will notice, its a fake, unauthentic, & completely bogus
-I'm suffering from emotional war but no one can ever know this
-Remember, just keep smiling
-Never show the meaning is beguiling
-Or I'm truly sad & I could start crying
-They'll see everything is perfect if I just keep smiling
-I smile, to make them believe I feel great
-But it's a lie, honestly, I wish I didn't wake
-I can't reveal, years of pain & heartache
-People knowing, I have issues, I simply couldn’t take
-Remember, just keep smiling
-Never show the meaning is beguiling
-Or that I'm truly sad & I could start crying
-They'll see everything is perfect if I just keep smiling
-I'm tired, no strength to fake it anymore
-For real, face & heart way too sore
-To heal, I'm laying all my burdens on the floor
-For any hopes of being saved, from this emotional war
THE END
