My Smile
My Smile
Standing in a crowd with a smile firmly painted on my face…
No one seems to notice the strain it takes or the cracks that have appeared
I stand there, alone amongst many, my smile never leaving its place.
I am not sure how much longer this will remain to be true,
The screaming in my head demanding to be heard,
I stop, breathe and smile anew.
“the voices wont win, the voices cant win..”
I repeat to myself over and over.
Everyone oblivious to the torment that occurs within,
the struggle I fight, the light that is always dim..
I cant let them see, I cannot allow them to pity.
There are so many of us who live with this,
appearing normal, happy, content,
A torrent of torment hidden successfully.
So each day I strive to keep the voices within quiet, happy
and my smile firmly kept in place.
In this city, on this day, forever on my face…
