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.
