Better stop frowning child
Plaster a big ol smile on your face and pretend
that you're the jolliest
You're not
but it's okay
As long as you just keep on faking it everyone else will be happy
So what it's a trapped being inside of you
Yelling and screaming
“Help!”
But no one ever hears you
No one tastes the perplex pain of your burdened sorrows shouting from the depths of your soul
If they could hear you
they wouldn't listen
So you better widen your lips into an intricate boomerang across your face
Nobody knows
Nobody needs to know
so just forget it
Just keep on faking it
yeah that'll work. .

Thanks JAZZ ~ When we are depressed no one hears our cries. BUT ~ as you suggest ~ when we fake it people actually notice us ! SMILE (even a fake one) and the World smiles with you ! Thanks for caring ~ Yours BRIAN
