Smile
February 13, 2010
Smile
Just look happy,
Smile.
They wont suspect a thing..
They wont know
How much pain,
How many tears,
How many attempts at death,
You have taken.
You hide the sores.
But show the success-
What's left of it anyway.
Just look happy,
Smile.
They wont suspect a thing..
Lead them to think,
That you lead a perfectly sane ife.
You don't want them in.
So you'll keep them out.
Just
Keep
Smiling.*

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me. And you do to!
im so sorry - for your pain. i know how cruel the rest of the world can be when our own worlds are crashing down around our heads. so all you do is put up this facade, this mask of happiness that the world wants to see; it doesn't want to see anything that might hint at something wrong.
the way you pour out this emotion....so easily.....its amazing, incredible. you have a true talent for writing. keep it up!
