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.
