And for all that my smile hides I cry
Can you tell
When my tears threaten to spill
Over mascara borders?
Can you hear my screams
Being drowned out
By the superficial laughter
That rings through my head?
And for all that my smile hides
I never cry.
Straighten my shoulders
Tighten the bolts that hold
My lips in cheerful place.
Touch up that hint of sarcasm
That just slides by their ears
A silent train.
Bite back the screams
That tear at their bindings
Close the shutters to my eyes
Every morning so that none may see.
