Atop this stage I stand
A smile plastered to, this face, to this soul
Through all, expression unchanging
Through all, the surface says calm
Beneath the surface, roars a chaos
Beneath the surface, the truth lies
Under the smile lies everything
Beneath the smile lies everything you will never know

Love is a two way street. If you find yourself on a one-way road, it&#039;s time to take the next turn off.
