Play This Game

Smile for the camera,
I hear you say.
I do as told,
by you always stay.
My whole life a show,
I can’t explain.
No rhyme or reason to this game.
A mask to hide, 
but cracks show through.
Even so I’m here with you.
You always stay no other way.
I hear you say to play this game.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
