The pain in my chest

never stays the same

numb the feeling

numb the pain

Slash my wrist

but wear long sleeves

smile my best smile

one they'll believe

Wipe the tears from my eyes

put the make up on my face

lie to myself continuously

you're anything but a disgrace

Tie my hair in a bun

that way they'll see my face

always walking hunched and slow

but now I walk with poise and grace

The pain in my chest

never wanting to stop

but I put on my charade

my perfect cover up
