False Song

Have you ever tried to be happy but it just wouldn't work?

Alas, I sing a song

Of undeclared joy. (That's what you want.)

Hoping it will make me strong

But loneliness is stuck in my heart. (This is what I get.)

 

With success I put on a smile,

To appear joyful is my similie. (Don't judge me.)

In my heart lies a trial

Wondering who I ought to be. (Thank-you friends.)

This is good. I know all too well the feeling of faking a smile. Trying to make yourself happy, but it just doesnt work.
