A Fine Facade
March 1, 2016
our lives are no more than one big masquerade
parading around with smiles plasered to our face
we cover up our tearstained cheeks and bloodshot eyes
and weave a web of beautiful lies
all caught up in our perfect facade
trying to believe we are not flawed
the truth betrayed by a single sign
but if anyone asks, tell them we're fine
