Superficial Happiness
                             by

                             I may laugh and I may smile
                             But underneath it all
                           I feel like I am drowning
                           Heading for a fall
                           You never take me earnestly
                            And heedless and negligent no less
                           So I affix a grin upon my face
                            Superficial happiness
                            I pretend my universe is phenomenal
                            That my world surpasses 'just fine'
                             So that when you talk to me
                             You assume my life's divine
                            But my underlying fate
                            Perpetually resembles a hopeless game
                              A game that I am losing
                             One of dejectedness and shame
                             An inspiriting star may appear to radiate my life
                             But as for inside, my soul is ceaselessly tainting
                             I do not expect for you to recognize or see
                             For who am I so foolishly impersonating?
                              I do not elect to be this way
                            For my life to be an encompassing mess
                            So I continue to pretend to shine
                          Superficial happiness
