The Cover up of True Feelings


Smiles are really decieving.

At first you smile only when you mean it, and after a while you find yourself smiling just so that you can shut the world out on your true situation.

You smile when you do not find an action funny, but you smile anyways in order to be nice; but you know what being nice and always smiling does not cut it all.

Even when i am in pain or i am hurt, I pretend everything is alright because it is easier to hide my true feelings so that I would not be judged .

 LISTEN UP

Laughter is a good medicine. Don't smile in pretense, or to please anyone.

Smile when you mean it

Smile when it's from your heart, that way you do not have to put up an act.

If not before you realize it,

It becomes a habit that bring syou nothing but sadness

And in the process  you might lose your true self.
