Chin up princess or the crown slips
Tuck away the shames, shambles and shackles
Keep a bronze lock on those closet skeletons
Rehearse that sweet smile till it looks frank
Conceal those scars, powder those tear stains
Three deep breaths in. Release. Repeat
We’re not screaming into the pillow tonight
Or they’ll push you off the pedestal they put you on
They say problem shared is half-solved
Papers and pens don’t rattle
Write those you’re too perfect to confess
Laugh the loudest or they’ll know you’re a mess
Their ignorance is our bliss
Chin up princess or the mask slips.
