My friend, <br />Let me hide behind a smile, <br />Even if you know the truth. <br />Yes, <br />I know, <br />My eyes can’t lie <br />But I owe it to myself <br />To fool you all, <br />To fool me. <br />I want to hide behind a smile <br />So that you, <br />Who love me, <br />Don’t sense my pain, <br />Because you will feel it too. <br />I want to hide behind a smile, <br />So that you, <br />Who don’t care about me, <br />Don’t see me down <br />Before I have the chance to get up. <br />I must hide behind a smile, <br />So that you, <br />Who hate me, <br />Don’t feel proud <br />For what you have done..<br /><br />Ivy Christou<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hide-behind-a-smile/
