Look me in the eyes, <br />that's where the real truth lies. <br />Look beyond this smile I wear, <br />do this, and show me you care. <br />For my smile is only there <br />to cover up a heart so very bare. <br />My smile is rarely real, <br />it just covers up how I really feel. <br />I'm working at changing this, <br />it's a goal on my list, <br />but the process is slow, <br />but worth it, I know. <br />So help me out with this, facing my fears, <br />look inside and see the tears. <br />Offer a smile, or a warm embrace, <br />don't be fooled by this smile on my face. <br />A word of encouragement, or a kind helping hand, <br />whatever it takes, to bury this in the sand.<br /><br />beautiful imperfection<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-smile-3/
