Staples
I get so sick of stapling smiles whenever I'm around
And then slowly tearing them off every night
Before I lay me down to sleep.
And I really, really really wish
That someone would stop the clock from ticking
The one inside that crocodile that's been trying to
Hunt me down for so long—
I wish they'd stop it for just awhile.
Let me vent my head off.
And then perhaps,
With the perfect understanding that I'm not all I can be,
They'd wave it all away with a just hand.
And then slowly tearing them off every night

With the perfect understanding that I'm not all I can be,

I especially like these lines:
"Let me vent my head off.
And then perhaps,
With the perfect understanding that I'm not all I can be,

The only real problem, I believe, is that "they" is very undefined. You don't mention "them" before and it's suddenly there in there in the last line. Other than that, great job! Stapling smiles... Brilliant.
Amaya, do you staple smiles whenever I'm around?
I think you know the answer to that, bbboy.
