The Actor

I should've been on broadway,
how well I act.
Everyone I have fooled.
Everyone thinks everything,
is ok with me.
The truth is hidden behind,
all the fake smiles I'm giving.
All this happiness is nothing but a act.
The laughing..it's so easy to fool you.
The truth is I'm crying inside.

aaah yes, we all wear a mask, to hide our true selves from the world, we act the parts, it is only in our privacy that we can show the true pain~~ you captured this pain well ~~
