What a Smile Can Hide

My happy face holds many invisible drops of tears My smiling face holds many unbearable fears. I keep smiling while dying from inside I carry on smiling as my smile itself is a lie. My joyful face holds my day's tiredness from losing While my heart thinks about still winning. My cheerful face also wants to cry But I wear a smile thinking it is worth a try. What my smiling face can hide Is a mystery on its own. But what my crying face means Is yet to be known. Maybe I should pour my emotions out And save my eyes from having a drought. Because crying is not wrong It just means we have been strong for too long.
