The best you can do

It’s okay to sit up there Watching people go by As if theirs woes Are not part of your world Maybe it’s good To keep smilling As if all is well Even when you feel like hell It is alright To be whistling As if merry When your heart is breaking To walk around as if okay To pat a friend and give a hug Even when you need it most To hold your head up high Even when your world Is falling apart Maybe it’s the best you can do To keep from breaking From problems surrounding you Yes, it’s the best you can do To live for another day
