Put on that fake smile they say.

      It will become a real one, one day.

But they don't want to hear what you have to say 

Just do what they say and obey. 

They don’t care if you’re all grey.

They don’t care if you’re not okay.

They just want your feelings to be locked away,

Even though they want you to stay. 

But to them you're still a stray, 

And funny thing is everyone already believes you’re okay,

Because of that fake smile you display.

  Put on that fake smile they say.

It's easy to be happy, they say.

But not everyone is okay with just okay . 

It's not that easy for you to convey.

They expect you to slay the day today. 

But you’re no hero you portray.

You are easily broken like a fine piece of clay. 

Yet as long as they're happy you're completely okay.

You are a beautiful vase easily. 

You must put on that fake smile they say.
