Smile - The Jester

Smile
Entertain us
Laugh dance and sing
Make us merry take away our sting
For the moment...
We'll put you on display
On this here stage
Crowds cheering away
Attention
Honourable mentions
Stay in place
Know your role!
Your integrity is the toll
No objections
As long as you make us shine
As bright as your
Smile
Laugh and play
Strip our self loathing away
Pretend everything is ok
Smile
Don't think or feel just obey
Big top
Sights and sounds
Well keep you around
Until the
Rain and unbearable pain
Stiff and numb
Coming undone
Don't ever complain!

Whisked away backstage
pouring raining
Cannot contain
That painted smile
Must remain intact...
Ready for the next act
Where you are welcomed back
into the spotlight
So everyone can see you

Smile
