Hidden behind the smile

She looked so happy that you can't tell
Under that smile was a hurricane
She wore a mask that looked real to the eye
But underneath it was the scars she hides
Every pain she felt was hidden in her smile
The more pain she felt the more she smiled
She laughed so loudly
That no one knew she was lonely
She showed herself as whole
Skillfully hiding the hole
She never cried she never tried
All she did was hide it and smile
Her hurt was stronger than her smile
Her emptiness was deeper than her laugh
She never moaned she never swore
Cause she was strong and had hope
So all she did was smile.
