Grimace

I face my daily demons from time and time again I try to be normal and count to ten, ten, ten and then I cope with hope’s happiness It’s so dope to be no longer in distress It was a dismal and dark night last night There’s a delightful day, sparkling with might Snowed under by sunshine today Let me be, detested dismay and disarray I grimace in the mirror and in pictures To hide the sorrow So, I pray for another tomorrow Opening my eyes everyday to shine Opening up to the lies that aren’t mine I’m living a lie Beneath the truth I’m living a lie Beneath the truth So, today, I decide to grimace Away my hopelessness...I’m helpless I’m making so much progress none the less I’m changing oh so sympathetically I’m changing oh so rhythmically I just want to be free Can’t I unfold my wings and flee? Why can’t I be happy? I won’t fake a smile and heave a sigh I don’t want to die...I will give it a try To not underestimate you anymore I hate to be hit to the core by forlorning and being a bore Pour forth the pain from my eye’s glassiness Disconnected by the wires in my brain’s mess Lean on me some more and we will be miles behind the shame I feel the vibes...I don’t want to take the blame...the blame... My palms are quivering I have been simply shivering I walk away, for you can never see my grimace Into the abyss and darkness, I roam in hopelessness...I’m a loner more or less...
