I can’t be the only one who lives a lie with Fake Smiles
whilst I am dying, crying and breaking up inside
But wearing this Smile is a disguise and deep inside Anxiety lies.
From ear to ear this smile hides the fear that no one will see how much Anxiety is killing me.
Day to day, a Smile, a wave, a nod of my head all this dread before I have even left my bed.
Now I am up with this Smile on my face, my heart is pounding, my head a race
Through this crowd I just hope to see a familiar face, someone who knows that I am about to break
knowing that my Smile is fake, they give me hug and say, ‘It’s ok,
you’re doing well and very brave.
Now simmer down and make that head behave.’
