happily unhappy

Location

Seeing is believing
But don’t believe everything you see
Most people don’t know what the real story is behind me
Laugh, Smile, Joke, and Cry
You would never know my thoughts from looking in my eyes
Loved by many, Hated by yourself
Wishing you could take your emotions and put it on a shelf
You ask what curtain I hide behind?
 I am revealing myself from behind the curtain of happiness
I give and give and give
until there’s no more of me left
Unhappiness tends to take many forms
But sometimes I find small joys in what society doesn’t think is the norm
I like making others happy and smile
even if it’s only for a little while
random acts of kindness
that’s what life is built on
and that’s what give me the drive
to keep on keeping on..
