Get your game face on,
don’t leave without it.
Like a second skin,
smile fixed in place.
Rest your game face,
When no one is looking.
Fakeness is exhausting,
the cost of a lie.
Put your game face on,
can’t cope without it.
Mask painful thoughts,
too hard to share.
Keep your game face on,
too vulnerable without it.
Wherever you go,
you are still there.
Could you drop the game face,
just for an instance?
No one will notice,
they’re all unaware.
Retire your game face,
Find peace without it.
In stillness and silence,
through understanding comes love.
