BEHIND THE VEIL

Laughter
Maybe a smile
Does this necessarily imply happiness?

People go through the tempest
Many have this pain in their chests
Pasts too dark to reflect
Realities none can neglect

Put their smiles to the test

Happiness, or a veil from the rest..?
Purest, or a life bulk with the worst?
Smiles cover up broken hearts
Crushed dreams and phases of life that hurt
Points of regret, high hopes and lost bets
Smiles turn plastic
And a show of happiness ain't no magic
It beats logic;
But the smiles of the broken shine brightest

Put their smiles to the test

Their tempest somehow always reflects
Is your smile a facade..?
