paint on smile

i didn't need to be a expert magician to learn the trick that i posses
it didn't take much time to make my illusion a success
i can never say "i don't wear make up" for that is a lie
i do the same thing each day that goes by
in the morning i put on a paint on smile
for i can't do it on my own, not even for a while
i do this to make the ones around me satisfied
so they don't need to worry of the things i hide
some say "wow you have a pretty laugh" those are the complements i take
they don't need to know all my laughs are fake
i look at myself in the mirror of my room
my eyes puffy and red like a rose in bloom
another day
another play
another time to hide my sorrow
it would be the same tomorrow
yes you may say im living in denial
but im going to go on with my paint on smile.
