To laugh is to not cry.

To be happy is to hide the sad.

We put on ourselves

The positive, unfeeling mask.

We hide from us and others

The true nature we really feel.

Truth is painful, reality saddening

Why must we hurt more than necessary?

So don your mask, hide your face

You don't have the brave it takes.

Be fearless, be free

Embrace emotion inside thee.

Even the pain gives to greater glory

Even the sorrows can birth healing.

To laugh is to wholly accept

To be happy is to rejoice in the light
