Fake It Till Ya Make It

Perseverance through all your trials.
Sometimes its hard to fake the smiles. 
To be strong enough to keep it together. 
But to handle with the grace of a feather.
They can never know you are weak. 
Even though its hard to speak. 
The thoughts are all jumbled,
Your insides all crumbled. 
Keep pushing on anyway.
Soon after dark becomes day. 
Before you even notice the difference.
It pays off, all of that persistence.
