I find it hard to smile
I look in the mirror and rehearse these lines
"I am fine, I am fine"
Though I struggle
everyday
I keep looking in the mirror
i blink twice and smile
i go to school, mostly everyday
Blink, blink
and show those pearly whites'.
Pretending helps...
I think,

I'd like to tell you everyday
with a real smile, and the truth that




I'm OK.
but just for now, i'll push and strive every mile
with my fake smile and practiced lines
"i am fine, I am fine"
