Author's Note: Another old poem I found. Enjoy~
----------------------------------------------
SMILES CAN LIE
Yes I smile every day.
But what does my smile actually say?
That I'm happy?
Everything's okay?
Maybe it is maybe it may.
But what is behind the smile?
The side I never show?
Do you want to see?
Should you really know?
Because what's behind is a special sight.
If someone were to see it would be a fright.
Here I'll show you.
What much can that do?
I bet ya that you never knew.
Oh look at that.
There are tears.
I've hidden those for many years.
But I don't show them.
Because you never ask.
I never show whats beyond the mask.
You see I'm not happy.
I'm not okay.
I think about this.
Every day.
It eats me up.
Holding it in.
This is where my true feelings have been.
Sometimes I cry.
But only when I'm alone.
My bedroom is my crying zone.
No one can hear me.
Softly scream.
No one can hear the sadness I dream.
This is my life.
What it's like.
It isn't pretty is it?
See a happy person like you wouldn't fit it.
But I sure would.
It's really me.
What do you think about what you see?
You don't like it?
I'll put the mask back on.
See a nice smile!
All the sadness is gone.
But this smile will soon die.
For all smiles can lie.
