happiness wears me like a skin

Nightmarish smile staring at me from the mirror 

A tilt my head to discern and it tilts back 

Is that me in the reflection or am I its? 

Unfamiliar to see myself this way 

I swear it's someone else 

Tell me it's someone else 

Happiness wears me like a skin 

A body to control 

Forcefully pushing forward 

Portraying a person that 

Doesn't exist

Let it sink in
