Beneath This Smile
Location
No one could see this coming
She hides it so very well
Smiling fake smiles
While reliving her own hell.
She said she was feeling down
You chose not to see
And now she hides
Behind this mask of uncertainty.
Her pain overflowed to a knife
But no one saw past her smile.
She was a master of disguise
If only for a while.
Her smile was wavering
Can't you see it's fake?
Allow her to hide
For her sanity's sake.
If only someone could see
She only wanted happiness
A smile worth more than a mask.
Instead of all of this emptiness.
