Fake

Most of these smiles are fake
Smiling back is the best you can make
They open their mouths not for your sake
Wonderful smiles, aren't they?
Sometimes I wonder, what if they,
Do not have a mouth
How could they fake?


Most of these tears are fake
Let it not your emotions shake
Great weepers, the best they can make
Moving tears, aren't they?
Sometimes I wonder what if they,
Do have no tears
How could they fake?


Stop believing
It's time to wake
