Faking It

Meet me on the street
Watch me smile at the world
Marvel at my strength
See me enjoy life
Sure I'm sad but I know that will pass
All a natural part of grief
I have good and bad days
I'm such a good liar

No one will ever guess
They don't see the cracks in my face
I'm so close to loosing it
I've never been so scared
But what can I do?
I've no-where to go
No one will catch me if I fall
I have to keep living, working
Putting one foot infront of the other
And all the while
Showing a happy, BRAVE smile

They don't want to hear about the pain
It causes to just keep breathing without you
And I can't tell them
Because once I start to tumble
I'll never pick myself up
So I keep pretending
To the world and to myself
That I'm going to be okay
One day
Soon

I'm such a bad liar.
