Moving forwards a happy smile upon my face,
I greet the people I know within this place.
Wishing well and telling jokes,
But my smile is just a hoax.

Flirting words and sexual jest,
Actions that look natural at best.
Posting lyrics of a favoured song,
As the falsehoods fall from my tongue.

At a glance I seem totally carefree
The illusion I create so carefully
To keep the pain locked away inside
The broken heart I need to hide.

Porcelain features that do not show
The real me that lays below
Polished cheeks of ivory white
Convince everyone I am alright.

As another wound adds to my fear,
Lines of black begin to appear.
For under the strain of this task
Cracks appear in this dolls mask.
