Dear You,

How come everyone believes my smile?

Yes, sometimes it is a true smile, but sometimes it's not.

Why can't people see past my smile?

Why can't someone look me in the eyes and see how sad I am?

Why can't someone look me in the eyes and see my tears start to form?

Why can't someone see?

A complement I always get is 'You have such a beautiful smile. It lights up the room!', but how can a smile be so beautiful and light up a room when it isn't even real?

Lately I've had to fake my smiling. Luckily only once it gets closer to night, like 8ish, but still... I just wish someone would see past it.

Why can't someone see past it?

They don't even have to say anything. They can just hug me and I'll be okay, even if it is just for a moment.

Please someone hug me.

-Me.
