Behind Smiling Faces
Behind smiling faces, pain remains unseen,
Keeping happiness intact, a hidden screen.
Facade, deceiving at times,
Obfuscating the hardship underneath silent chimes.
Like fragile china, words fail to convey,
The depths of emotions hidden away.
Unspoken torment,masked by a smile,
Burning hearts that endure in silent exile.
