I wore my smile
Across the years,
It masked the pain
And hid the tears,
It locked the door
And hid the key,
So no-one close,
Would ever see.
I wore my smile
Across the years,
A heavy veil
For silent fears,
To fool the crowd
Within my sway,
And help to hold
The dogs at bay.
I wore my smile
Across the years,
To fend away
The swords and spears,
But now I find
I cannot choose,
To drop the smile
And to be true.
