A Painted Smile
We can paint a picture bright,
to keep all sadness out of sight.
To hide from those held dear,
to full of joy appear.
An insecurity so deep,
afraid of others seeing us as weak.
Our emotions we attempt to hide,
but they are strong inside.
Instead our feelings we suppress,
causing endless stress.
Feelings have thoughts that manifest without doubt,
but it's not always convenient to let them out.
Use any means possible that brings you comfort and ease,
write in a diary, or go swinging from trees.
To talk of them freely takes courage and understanding,
have faith that the whole world is not into branding.
