Live Your Lie

One day you wake up to find
You don’t know where you lost the time
The years are faded memories.

Your kids are grown
You’re all alone
You have a house but where is home
Just memories.

And in your heart that open wound
You told yourself would heal real soon
Is festering.

You have it all people say
But what do they know anyway
Your crippled inside.

And with that smile plastered on
You tell them there is nothing wrong
You know how to hide.

Conceal the anguish, mask the pain
And beg the Lord for strength again
You’re weakening.

Close your eyes, try not to see
You must escape this agony
For one more day, one more day
Push the flowing tears away.

“Never let them see you cry”
Be tough.
Be strong.
Live your lie.
