Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

A charade of happiness, Is what I've put on
And I have fooled everyone, Even myself at times
You would think that someone would notice
Anyone would notice
I've been waiting for someone to notice
No one
But in a world of acting and fakery who is to say what is real and what is not?
Fake words, fake laughs, and fake smiles
Fake friends?
You begin to forget what is false and what isn't
But when you come home from that outside world, to an empty house
You begin to remember
No, you are forced to remember
To remember your emptiness

Tears of sorrow dripping down my cheeks
Laughter hallow cracked and broken
Despair laid thick fogging my vision
Life pointless to keep living
Only for my friends do I continue
To keep their hearts untroubled, unbroken

A clown to all
Just make them smile
A lip upturned
Makes it worth while

Why are you crying
Those tears that you've shed
Plug up those waterfalls
And laugh instead

If the shadows eat up the light
And there's no happyness in sight
Let me be your flashlight

See the light
And start a new day
