The Smile

The alarm goes off, time to get up.
Time to do your hair, put on your makeup.
Open the door, put on your fake smile.
Time to fool everybody, your living in denial.

You get to school, they ask how's your day.
Fine, you replay, then go along your way.
You get to class, with the smile on your face.
You say hi to your friends, then quietly take your place.

The bell then rings, it's lunch, this is the daily test.
Keep on that same smile, and never ever confess.
Sit there at the table, speak not a word.
Your depressing thoughts don't want to be heard.

The final bell rings, time to walk home.
Freedom is waiting, your home alone.
Time to be yourself till parents come home.
And when they do come home, put the smile back on.

At night when everyones asleep, and you lay there awake.
Take off that smile, the smile thats fake.
You then close your eyes, and start to fall asleep.
The smile locked away, till morning when the alarm starts to beep.
