Funny Ways

The brain has a funny way of telling lies Which makes you smile when you're sad. But still that heart of yours, never denies When it knows, it has lost all that it had. It's hard to distinguish what's right and wrong When your happiness outweighs the sorrow. And it's hard to find out where you belong When you realize there will be no tomorrow. Do you ignore what the heart is saying And allow your mind to just take control. Knowing these lies that your portraying Will do absolutely nothing for your soul. It's hard to even smile when your weak inside But like a fool, you pretend that you are strong. Even though you've reached the end of the ride As your heart has no strength left, to carry on. Perhaps a lie is what you need to cope Knowing happiness is what you desire, But still inside, you know there's hope As the tears within, smolder out the fire. Life as a funny way of making you smile When all you really want to do, is cry. But those laughter's only last a short while And then, you just break down and die. Why we remain strong, just for others Will always be a mystery to me. Perhaps it's that we want to be perfect lovers In the eyes of our family and friends. Nothing about crying makes things easy When you reach out, no one is really bothered. Because everyone feels all uneasy So long as you keep smiling and stop being mothered.
