Public Face

Hiding behind a public face
Laughing and crying without a trace
A smile carved out to meet expectations
A smile returned leaves no satisfaction

A fascade that’s kept for ever so long
Confuses the world from the right and wrong
The lies are shown as a light of truth
And truth denied its form and worth

So towards the bright lit sun we bravely face
Cast smiles of calmness even if its bitterness we taste
For the world will only see what it wants to see
Shroud the untold truth behind a veil of mystery
