Self Discovery
Deceit looks like me, the shape of my lips
It calls out so sweetly bringing false bliss
Too fragile for heat yet shatters in cold
A smile worth buying but never is sold
Held down by beliefs that meant no real harm
Hiding my tears to not set off alarms
Picture perfect and arranged to be chic
Covering feelings that prove to be bleak
Given no value it’s hard to define
Smiles can be priceless but cost me my time
Willing to sacrifice all that is mine
Hoping my feelings and body align
To honestly smile while thinking of me
I’ll have to find out what makes me happy
