Behind the smile is another world
An unseen world invisible to many
Dark in the day
And light in the night
Behind the smile is a passion
A passion so strong
It takes over like a tsunami
Like a monstrous tidal wave
Behind the smile is a dream
A dream to become
To become takes determination
To become takes work
Behind the smile is pain
A pain like a dagger
Jagged and unpredictable
And never quite precise
Behind the smile is hope
Hope for a better world
Never giving up easy
Eyes open to love and closed to hate
