Behind The Smile



Am strong but sometimes weak
Am happy but sometimes sad
I laugh but sometimes cry
Am high but sometimes down
Am loved but sometimes hated

No one cares what you're going through,
They want to know everything about you,
But can't find solutions to what you're facing.

You hiding tears is none of their concern;
Why does your happiness hurt their feelings?

Physically, they want you happy,
But deep down, they mean your sadness.
They want you to soar, but secretly want your downfall.

Don't let people know your weak point;
If they know, they'll bring you down.
Mute your mouth; let them see your sadness
And see whether they care or not.
Let them see your tears, your downfall,
And see their reaction.

Those who love you see the negative sides of you
And change you positively.
Those who don't, see the positive side
And change you negatively.
