This smile of mine
It's starting to get old
Starting to wear out after wearing it all the time
I'm tired
Tired of all the people
The waves of kids and screams
That flood the halls
It all just becomes a storm in my head
I want to go home
To sit and stay that way
Staring at my phone
Not having the energy to even laugh
My head hurts
As I stare at the screen
It's kinda funny
How I can't get away from all the screams
Even in the silence
This smile of mine
It's stuck on my face
I can't seem to stop it
Show my real face
I want to rip it off
To take it and throw it away
It's a burden keeping this up
Every day
This smile of mine
It's almost always fake
It's there as if to say
"Hey don't look in my eyes, my pearly whites say I'm okay!"
The fact that it's not real
Already ruins my day
The times my smile is real
Are times right before or after
The storms clouds clear
But I always know deep inside
There's another
Waiting in the blue sky
This smile...
This smile of mine
It hurts me everyday
Only to say
"It'll be okay"
