Faux Joy

Awakened and Perfected
 
Fake smile branded on my face
 
Happiness temporarily ressurected
 
Pretend though it’s a waste
 
“I’m fine”
 
Repeat the line
 
In my mind
 
Perfect the ploy
 
“I’m ok”
 
I repeatedly say
 
Day to day
 
Fake the joy
 
Convince the world that nothing’s wrong
 
Though hope and faith is so long gone
 
Convince myself that I’m alright
 
Though I see no recovery in sight
 
Pick up a tactic to ease the pain
 
Lose myself in an attempt to regain
 
What I once had.
 
But I’m too far gone
 
The only remnant of me is everything I’ve done wrong
 
Everything I’ve messed up
 
Everything I didn’t do
 
Reassurance from others is no help
 
I refuse to believe any of it is true.
