My smile hides my heart

My laughter masks the pain

My curious, loving manner

Exists only in my brain

No one sees me cry

No one sees me scream

I never ask the question “why?—do they see what they see?”

But in my head is caos

Voices that won’t turn off

In my eyes are tears

Waiting on my checks to roll off

I always check on others

No one checks on me

I continuosy remind others, things aren’t what they seem

I keep my feelings to myself

I think it makes me smart

The self fulfilling secret, that my smile hides my heart
