*They saw her face bright
smiling and laughing
They heard her giggles and laughs
Everyone wanted to be like her
Loving this adventure called life
"She's full of life", they said
Little did they know
She's an amazing actress
Her life is her best performance
She's been wearing costumes and performing
all her life
But no one was able to notice
Or maybe
they just decided not to see
They ignored all the signs
because it's easier than reality
her reality
She deserves all the awards for her performance
Oscar, Emmy, Tony...
All these years
Being around thousands of people
Her family, friends and colleagues
She was able to fool them all
Does everyone who laugh and smile all the time really that much of a happy person?
"No."
Perhaps people who are,
are the ones who do that to forget
To forget their reality
"Maybe if I pretend long enough, it'll become my true feeling, it'll become my new reality, maybe..
maybe my performance will beat my depression. Maybe.."*
