The Fake Smile

Independent was she once, fear of nobody
Lives in bondage today, taking commands from everybody.

Sits and cries all alone, wondering why
With a broken heart, she lets each day pass by.

Happiness was once an ordinary feeling,
Time has taken it's toll, today, left her bleeding.

Fought against the world for her present,
Only to find herself isolated in torment.

She misses those small things from their best years,
Things that made them strong & moments which were forever to cheer.

Women within her wants to break free,
Mother & Wife, though, don't seem to agree.

But her love never faded, even in the storm
As real love always finds it's way around.

So to live in the dark, until it's dawn,
Her mantra for life is:
Head Up-Stay Strong-Fake A Smile-Move On.
