Look at me,

I’m smiling.

And singing stupid songs…

As much as I know

That in a day, or so

This feeling’s going to be gone

Leaving only a shadow

So badly I hope and wish

That it won’t

How long can I

Cling to this smile and light heart?

I hope long enough

To bring myself out of this hole

The years have dug myself into

So here I am

Smiling and feeling happy

Just like I used to

So long ago

Almost like it never happened it seems

Now I’m wearing a smile

Not made of paint
