Remain calm, smile, keep up the small talk, don\'t stop
Do better, go there, do that, do this
Do this
Do this
DO THIS!
Outside is normal, a clean slate with hidden flaws
Inside is chaos, everything a mess from top to bottom
A shell of false pretence that all is well
Moving from one face to the next dead eyes with a smile
Extreme emotions flooding in sporadically
Can time pause and let me take a breath
Just give me a moment to process everything
To try and tape the pieces of me back together
Before it all comes down falling to bits
