smile

As I look in the mirror my smile slowly fades away
fading faster everyday
even though I'll have to put it on tomorrow
to try to hide the sorrow
my real smile was lost long ago
the real me is someone you should never know

Now you want me to be like I was before
before my loved ones gave up and closed their doors
wait, you thought this smile was real?
you think this is how i really feel?
no, don't worry about me
just go back to how everything used to be
don't worry I'll be okay
I'll put on my fake smile and slowly walk away
