A Painted Smile

Recommended Posts

Covering up,

Those woes and fears,

A painted smile,

Now masquerades those tears,

Daily trials and tribulations,

Their way of handling,

Difficult situations,

Carefully in the mirror,

They will create that face,

Life’s troubles,

Firmly put in a safe place,

Hidden,

Is this little box of used tricks?

That only they feel,

In time they can fix,

Paint on that smile,

Conceal those cracks,

Carefully smother,

Those worries tracks,

Slowly they have built up this,

Protective fence,

A shut door tight,

Hides this pretence.

People frown,

And sometimes mock depression,

Shame or fear,

Will stop their confession

Love your stuff John - however

 

Cover up those woes and fears

A painted smile in place of tears

Daily trials and tribulations

Handling; Handling situations

Through the mirror create the face

Keep the troubles in their place

Use the box ; Old box of tricks

Hide the wounds; create the fix

Smile; just smile, obscure the facts

Even out those careworn cracks

Build up build up the cold pretence

The shuttered eye the last defence

Let people frown and mock depression

End of session. End of session
