Poker Face

By Oxygen

In the light of the day

A smile so big.

So happy.

So fake.

A poker face.

The cheeks pink

And smiling

Those eyes glinting of Joy

The true example of a poker face

But the minute the people fade

The masque of joy

Crumbles crashing to the ground

No more poker face

The tears flowing out

As a river

The thoughts coming out

The feeling unspeakable

Those feelings not being able to be shared

The thought of being ignored

The troubles in life

Are free to roam

To prey on the weak

But then again the sun rises to

Start a new day

And the poker face is repainted

Shutting away the thought

To be shown and kept

The poker face shines bright

False and misleading

Faces can be deceiving
