Hidden Pain
Disguised with fun and a warm smile
A wave saying good day and goodbye
Chin up with bright eyes
The realities I try to hide
Trying to Fit a circle in a square
Lying to the world nothing to share
About what's real and what I fear
That wonderful costume I love to wear
Tears of joy or tears of pain?
Years of pretending they're all the same
But what's true is hidden inside
And you'd have known if you were by my side.
