Behind the Smile


I was known as someone full of laughetr with a positive mind.

With a wild imagination that everyone wanted to get to know

Someone that was active and made people think differently about life

But eveything changed. Everything crumbled into small little pieces that I couldn't pick up.

I hid behind the smile.

I became someone that is known as a fake in this society

I am known in my own world as someone who gave up and is weak

But I didn't give up.

Now I am strong. I overcame my nightmares. I am full of laughter. Full of positive thoughts.

I stopped hidding behind the smile.

I am myself. I am not the monster I create long time ago.

I am different.
