BEHIND MY SMILE
I told a lie
But not with my mouth,
They told a joke
it wasn't funny yet I laughed.
All you know is that I smile
Behind that smile is an eye that cry
They want to come close
Bcos they are attracted by a mask
At day light I fake a smile,
The darkness reminds me that am sad.
Everyone believe am a star,
All because I fake a smile
When I lie on my back I start to cry,
cos I know am telling a lie,
A lie that really breaks my heart
Sometimes I want to scream am not alright
But how can I,
when they know I will always give a smile.
A smile not really from my heart.
Sometimes I need a shoulder to wipe my teary eyes,
But I have have to hide my eyes
Because they know I will always give a smile,
How come they don't see that am sad?
Maybe I have worn the mask for way too long
And maybe it's time I tell them the pain behind the smile
How I hug my pillow at night
And stare at the emptiness inside my heart
How I wish for a friend to pour my heart
How the silence in my heart has become so loud.
How my thought has hunt my mind
How I wish I could pour this all out.
Maybe no one can help with this pain I feel inside
Maybe all I need is just to fake a smile
And make everyone feel like its all going to be alright.
I know there is PAIN BEHIND ALL OF OUR SMILE
Good morning friends

To add to yours my dear friend.. A smile can solve the hardest of problems and also a simple smile can also pave way for you, when you least expect.. And I just can't help it.. You do have a beautiful smile.
Please, don't laugh😁😁!! Stay blessed friend.
We fake smiles ,yes we do
we fight hard time, yes we do
we suffer cuz of others, yes we do
and in the end nothing matters neither me nor you.
Why to fake a smile, then?
Happy Writing
