Smile
Here I stand before you
But you will never see me clearly
The light is not bright enough
Only I can see my disintegration
Falling apart into pieces everywhere
With every step, breath, every move
But you will never see me fall
No. I stand strong in your vision
This smile I wear for you, so real
Just like May's rain so hard to avoid
These tears flow escaping my eyes
Yet you will never see them fall
Strong women never break on the outside
They just keep smiling for all to see
For a smile masks the pain held inside
I'm getting better at it can't you tell?
Can you take the pictures now?
For now my cheeks are starting to hurt.
