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.
