Reason To Smile

Many people don't know
The pain i live each day,
I keep it all locked up inside
Always thought its best this way.

Friends eagerly invite you
Saying your busy its no,
Knowing the truth your broke
Otherwise you would love to go.

Weighing things completely
Listening to what others say,
Nothing ever really changes
For its the same each day.

Despite all life's short comings
After you sit and think awhile,
You still have your loved one
For this you'll forever smile.
