Fake a smile
Force a laugh
'I don't care'
Another slash
On the broken canvas
Walk is steady
Voice is smooth
'I feel great'
Another slash
On the broken canvas
Knife out
Paint thin
'I'm okay'
Another slash
On the broken canvas
Breath shallow
Hand steady
'I'll be fine'
Another slash
On the broken canvas
No fighting breath
No lasting tears
'This won't hurt'
Tear it down
The broken canvas
