Did the smile even show on my face?

My skin is tight like leather

There are bands pulling and pulling on the leather of my face trying to form smiles

Trying to keep emotions in while trying to force other ones out

Because I feel nothing, but I have to smile

These human emotions are complicated

I wonder if I am an alien

A celestial being made out of stars and fake smiles

Given a handful of excitement and put out into the world

Being fearful someone would steal the excitement from me

Ripping the rug from underneath me

And now I am left floating in this empty space

This body I have to call mine

But every time I look at it in the mirror it changes

These human emotions are complicated

All of the things I could be and I chose to be me

It makes me think I am special

It makes me feel special

But I am just a celestial being made out of stars and fake smiles

Given a handful of excitement and put out into the world

Someone ripped the rug from underneath me

Now I float in this empty space

This body I call mine

But every time I look in the mirror

I wonder who's in the reflection
