Hiding Place
December 6, 2009
Beneath the fake smile,
the fake laugh,
is a hurt cut deep
and is still fresh despite the pass of time
Beneath the joking lies,
there is a toil
and a trouble you don't want to know about
Beneath the joy,
there is pain
But in the smiles,
the laughter, the jokes and the joy
is some form of the truth
it's not all pain
it can't be for the lie to be convincing
Beneath the joy,
beneath the pain,
is hope, a fierce hope
the hope that is my hiding place
Beneath the pain,
there is joy
