I try to be happy;
I try to be gay ;
even when things ;
don't go my way .
I try to smile;
It's not easy I know;
I try to laugh;
that the pain may not show.
But one heart that is inside;
can't be hidden long;
and the outlooker will know;
that something is surely wrong.
Even at such times;
when one going really tough;
though the path seems long ;
and very very rough.
