I’ll Never Smile Again

I've had this face for eighteen years
The only one I know
I've seen it shining streaked with tears
Just like pure melted snow

So why put me through this ordeal
When I have never asked?
To get a look that's their ideal
I'm putting on a mask

Why am I different?
Am I the only one?
I'm not afraid of pain
Yet when it's done
I fear I'll never smile again

I've had this face since I was born
The only one I know
All the expressions I have worn
I can no longer show

Why take away these laughter lines
That dance around my eyes?
Why ask me to disown what's mine
And put on a disguise?

The nose is not a bridge
The eye is not a ball
The mouth is not a rosebud
The forehead's not a wall
The ear is not a handle
The cheek is not a hill
The skin is not like plasticine
To mould just as you will

Why am I different?
Am I the only one?
I'm not afraid of pain
Yet when it's done
I fear
I'll never smile again
I'll never smile again
