When you're sad, you paint a smile
So no one can see
When you're angry, you paint a smile
So no one can see
When you're happy, you paint your smile
So no one knows
That none of this is real
So no one will see the real you
You hide behind a happy mask
And pretend that it's real
Most believe it
But those closest to you do not
They see the real you
They look behind the mask
They wipe the painted smile off your lips
They show who you are
And they fix what's behind the mask
To match the painted smile
But this smile isn't painted.
It's real.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in forever. I haven't been in the mood to write. I'll try and write one more poem today, but it may not get done.
Any feedback is much appreciated!
