Poker Face
May 10, 2015
Life is like a card game
We give bull
We take bull
We play bull
Yet we act like everything is fine
Turning on our poker face in public
Fake
Meaningless
Empty smiles
The true smiles
Are the smart ones
Who play their cards right
And win
But they don't always win
We take turns
Winning and losing
We do our best
Bet our all
We lose some
And we gain some
