Behind the beautiful smile is the ugliest pain tucked away beneath, because if it ever reached the surface everyone would run. The smile could light up a room, but what lays beneath is infinite darkness, consuming everything pushing its way towards the light but being forced back down in the hopes no darkness will ever show through the cracks of his tired eyes, they gave a glisten which made them look full of life but were tears restrained back with such force. And he is loud and confident at first glance but in an x-ray of his very being is so silent and insecure. He makes you laugh in ways that nobody ever has and laughs with you but inside his core is crying and screaming out for help. But you can't see it because what lies beneath is all hidden away. What lies beneath is a hostage in the trunk of a car gagged and in darkness. What lies beneath is the true identity of the fraud who roams on the surface.
