I'll fake a smile,

To please the crowd.

It's just for a while,

To make you proud.

I'll tell you I'm okay,

To the very end.

It's a lie that I say,

So I can pretend.

I'll say I'm alright,

Until I'm free.

Always in plain sight,

Though you can't see.

You don't know,

What "I'm fine" means.

We act in our show,

Till we break at the seams.
