Jokes and laughter, he is all smiles.

At least, for a little while.

For when he goes home, his smile fades.

The time comes to drop the charade.

He cries and cries, releasing the feelings he hides.

Finally, he can express how he feels inside.

It stops, his tears come to an end.

He knows tomorrow is coming, and it starts all over again.
