Behind the smile
December 30, 2013
Behind my smile there is pain
Behind my laugh, cruel disdain
Tears slip from my eyes
But you'll never see me cry
You think I'm happy, I am not
Through a twisted web I'm caught
Everyday I died inside
And everynight that I cried
Those memories in my brain
I swear, they won't go away
So you see my smile, not the tears
Or the torment from these years
Behind my smile there is hurt
The tears in my eyes, that I avert
