Take a Moment

If you really take a moment
To look
Behind the laughs
Beyond the smiles
You will find how I really feel
The tears
The pain
You see it all 
And if you look deeper
That's where you'll find 
All my thoughts
What did I do wrong
Why does this always happen
Why can't I just be happy
But the truth is
Very few
Look beyond the mask
