The lie behind a smile


Truth lies behind the person who smiles the most.

Pain lies within their eyes. Loneliness is what they feel. Tears roll down their face

Who is that person?

A shadow within us all,

They're a false image that we have to be.

Nobody understands the truth that lies behind that person;

The person who smiles the most
