Egotistic

I paint a smile upon my face,

and you'll never know it's fake.

With this smile, the pain goes away,

and I can pretend every thing's okay.

I laugh out loud with confidence,

when, in fact, I'm afraid,

to show the truth of what's beneath

this smile made of paint.

This show that I put on,

is so precise and rehearsed.

You'd never know that earlier,

I was overflowing with hurt.

But by myself, in my room,

with no more paint left on,

I'm no longer that fake person,

and the real me comes along.

I stare into the mirror,

as what's inside becomes illuminated.

Someone so depressed and confused,

would never be accepted.

And so it's time to once again,

paint a smile upon my face.

Because around the world it's aways on;

And you'll never know it's fake.

I'm not sure that I really wrote it, I think I got it off of Quizilla, but I want to know what I should rate it.
