The History Behind The Fake Smile
This smile is what hides behind all the lies,
A mask to keep away from what actually dies.
This smile is known as a façade,
Whom they just assume is up for takes.
Let's start at the beginning to learn how it became empty.
Like every once upon a time, life seemed plenty,
A boy waltzed right into a girl's life
And while he was there she never strayed to knife.
But one day the boy left, all of a sudden
And the girl was in pieces created from destruction.
Her once true smile in sadness took sanctuary,
And seemed to turn cold in late January.
The world was comprised of every shade of grey
And the girl wondered if it was meant to be this way.
There was no hope in the world left for her
And oh how she wished the boy would return.
But as the days continued to fly by
The girl sat in her room and continued to cry.
This was her life in the broken now
And to the sadness soon she would bow.
But once out in the open, she did something vile.
This girl would shine her teeth, and fake a smile.
She hasn't been the same since that guy left
And oh how she is just waiting to finally be able to rest.
But the boy of which I speak has yet to came back
And she fears that "once upon a time" may turn black.
That is the story of why I hide behind a smile,
But it doesn't really matter because of every mile.
I'm alive on the outside shown by this grin
But on the inside, I know how I'm dead and can never win.
This is my smile and it's here to stay
So go ahead and leave if you may.
