you can walk around with your fake smile <br />for the world to see <br />but we all know that behind those eyes <br />pain hides within <br />you can walk around seemingly content <br />with everything in life <br />but we all know that it is nothing more <br />than a lie <br />standing outside looking in on your life <br />all seems normal and happy <br />no one sees the things you hide inside <br />from everyone <br />no one sees past the bright colors you paint the walls of your world <br />no one sees the blood stained walls and dark corners <br />that you try so hard to keep away from everyone <br />you can walk around with your fake smile <br />showing it to the world <br />but deep inside we all know your crying inside, dying inside <br />with every person who passes you and smiles back <br />you can walk around hiding inside the shell of a person <br />that you let everyone else see <br />we all know it is nothing more <br />than a lie<br /><br />Tina MacAdam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smile-a-fake-smile/
