One

One smile,
A hundred beatings,
disguised within,
by stories of make believe. 

One laugh,
A thousand bruises,
covered up,
hidden with clothes and make-up.

One embrace,
A million tears,
released behind,
closed doors where none can see.

One smile,
one laugh,
one embrace,
can make the smallest difference.

The Truth

The Truth

Words cut deep
deeper than any blade,
Yet I smile,
laughing at the things you say.

You do not see,
never knowing the real me,
I see the truth,
that which is better left hidden.


Just one question to ask,
why are we friends?
The reason that you tell,
because you care for me.

But that is a lie,
you care for the picture I present,
the false smiles,
and hollow laughs,
but this is the truth I keep.
