Behind The Smile

January 23, 2015

Behind the smile can tell you.

It tells you things you may have never new.

Smiles are bandages that cover up the pain.

Smiles allows us to remove a feeling of insane.

It is a crutch for without the true you will fall out.

But don't give the person with the smile doubt.

Don't push their smile away

For it is all that they have today.

Return a smile help heal the pain.

For it is the smiles they only want to gain.
