Why do we search for smiles
When there are so many around us

Don't forget to store an extra in your back pocket
Who cares if your dwelling
Dwelling to far into your head

What matters
Is a visible smile the public can observe
Evidence that they have nothing to worry about

Because you plastered on a smile
Because to them you are unbreakable

Face away from the shadows
They will only hinder a shatter

The wall of false realities still standing

Always turning back to the voices
Reminding you where you stand
You start to shrivel

Wanting to break down
You crumble
Hearing a knock
Snapping back
Someone stands in front of the door

Plastering on that smile
Once more

The voices
Screaming out your name
Reminding you your place

Forget about your suffering
Go to the convenience store
And pick up a new smile
