Broken Smiles and Fake Joy
written by fuzzypunkhat02:59 AM 11/26/04I noticed every day,
That when I go to school,
There's only one person sad,
And the rest are great, or okay.
I see some of the girls cry,
I wish they would be happy,
But at least they aren't lying about their happiness,
I wish I could take their pain and make them a lullaby.
I watch these people so elegant and precious and glad,
I shove my books in the locker with a slight smirk,
Just admiring what they do,
Even though it makes me feel bad.
Because of watching them play everyone else,
They're just lying about their glee,
And I'm sorry to say,
They aren't as good as they think in health.
So I watch these real people with broken smiles,
And I wish people would stop faking,
This is like a big joke, or a big play,
What is it like cool to pretend, is it in style?
I don't want to lie,
Sure I'll throw on a smile,
But I don't say I'm always okay,
Sometimes these people on the inside wish they could die.
But they don't tell people that of course not,
They just think,"Oh I should just act happy."
They only think about their attitudes and looks,
And looking all sexy so they can win a jock.
But these people how can they do it because I know I can't pretend,
Look at them all with their fake joy,
And these real ones with broken smiles,
Why can't it end?
And today I realized that when I asked one girl if she was okay,
She straightened her ruffled skirt,
And cuffed her striped shirt,
Then said,"No, but it's an okay day."
Broken smiles and fake joy,
Here it comes for another year of school,
Watching them struggle to lie and tell the truth,
Oh my, oh boy. |

| thats just like my school. so much drama and false life. people try to fit in instead of making society conform to them. it makes me sick. just be yourself and if people dont like you, then find someone thats worth your time. life is too short to play games with. do what you want, be who you want, live how you want. |
