All they ever knew
Is the smile
I show
Even the demons
Too over my soul
They told me to be strong
They expected to be tough
So I downloaded this smile
Jumped into the metaphor
Personified my wish
Created an imaginative rope and held on tight
Hoping someday
Somehow
Somebody
Somewhere would see the real me.
Until then,
I am a downloaded smile
Hiding through metaphors
