Behind the Smile

Behind the smile
Is a broken heart, broken by the evil that thrives in the world
Under all the strength
Is a weakness that forces itself on my soul
Covered by the words I speak
Is a want for someone to understand me
Forgotten because of the happiness I exude
Is the sadness that encompasses my life
Because of all the reasoning,
I put myself through
I die slowly, thinking on the worst
Because while I laugh
I’m wondering why I’m not crying
Just waiting for the sweetest thing to appear
Just waiting for the sun to shine
Just waiting for a simple wish to come true
Because under all the strength
Is a weakness that forces itself on my soul
