Open the door
Step out side
Take to the stage
Time to hide
What's inside
As the curtains goes up
Its time to start
Put on that smile
Make eye contact
Give that well rehearsed line
"Yes, I'm fine"
As always
They buy it
I must admit
I'm disappointed
At how easily
My "friends"
My "Family"
Believe me
All I have to say
"Yes, I'm okay"
And they go on their way
Never seeing
The smile
Slip away
So much hides behind this grin
It may be a sin
Telling this lie
But God knows
How I try
To make them see
They just ignore
As I count down the hours
Till At long last
The day comes to an end
Take a bow
Curtains close
Shut the door..
No need to pretend
Not right now
I lie in bed
Running those lines through my head
Hoping Someone, Anyone
Will finally see
This.. Is
Nothing more
Than an Act...
