To Pose

I can't smile on cue

Whatever muscles in your face you can contort to convey a particular expression
Whatever comfortable pattern you snap in with ease
I don't have that power

Of course I'm searching for happy memories and my chest heaves with a strange laughter
To find sincerity in portraying a falseness
I mean I can act and I lie well

But I can't fake happiness
Not even for a moment
Never could
