Wake up
Take a shower
Sit in the bottom of the tub
And cry for a hour.
Dry your hair
Dry your tears
No ones home
No one hears.
Put on a smile
Put on a dress
Put on so much makeup
No one will know you're a mess.
Wash the dishes
Fold the clothes
Keep it all inside
Make sure no one knows.
Sweep the hall
Vacuum the stairs
You've got it all together
Otherwise, no one cares
Beautiful disaster
That's what you say
Sometimes you'd like to
Just run away
Keep it up
This fictional facade
Go to the grocery store
Give your sweet, happy nods
Dinner is done
Everyone's content
Your board game day is
Almost at it's end
Crawl into bed
Close your eyes,
But don't sleep
Let tomorrow's grueling task
Keep you from counting sheep
Wake up.
