Smile

The smile you see everyday The smile you tell me you love The smile that brings you joy The smile you ask to see The smile that makes you weak The smile that I fake The smile I fake to make you happy The smile that I fake to bring others joy The smile I fake to avoid being asked by others if I’m okay The smile that I fake to avoid crying The smile that doesn’t show you that I’m hurting The smile that is now a mask The smile that hides the real me from you Yes that smile, that smile is your favorite.
