Echoes of Pain

Was it this painful?
It is hard to remember when your mind is never still.
It's hard to focus on a thought when you think of many
Distracted by laughs and smiles
Have you forgotten the hurt inside?
Was it all part of the act?
Your smile, your laugh, and your joy
Were they all a cover-up for the real pain you feel inside?
Come to think of it, was it even gone, or did you just bury it too deep to feel
Do you wonder what will become of you when all is gone?
And you are back where you started.
