Holding up a cheery facade-
exhausting, necessary, effective.
Telling myself elaborate stories-
it's fine, i'm ok, i'm doing my best.

Eventually it will be true.
Soon the stories will manifest.
Hold fast to the veil of illusion.
Don't unmask the magician yet.
This one wanted to be a song. Follow the link for the audio: https://veed.io/view/59b434ce-0668-4376-9fc3-06c9eadde881
