Loop of Pain

Places, faces, grin as wide as you can. Don't let them see what's underneath, but let them believe a lie. Smile for the camera! Pose for the audience! Wipe those tears away and build your walls higher. Don't let them spy your pain. Crying beneath the covers, with nobody to wipe your tears away. Then do it all again tomorrow; can't let them spot how you're fading away. Please just let the loop stop.
