Sew My Lips Into a Smile

I'll stretch myself out,

Wear myself down.

I'll go through it all,

But don't see me for who I'm not.

I'll sew the smile

Into my skin,

Praying my lips

Won't give in.

If pretending is what they need,

I'll just have to try.

I'll hold in all the shattered glass,

Never allowing my lips to cry.

If my lips should part,

It would just be to speak my heart.

"This world is broken

And though I'm wearing myself thin,

I'll never give in.

I won't let the darkness win."

Author's Note

I want to send this to Pierce the Veil and see what they think of ittttt

This almost sounds like an intro for a song. :) Good job!
