The Pain Behind My Smile

Type Scale:

I wear a smile every day,
While sobs will never speak a word.

Nobody would think that I'm okay,
Because they'll never know the storm within my eyes.

I show my tears only when I cry,

Until people ask me "Why?"

Some emotions have no words to call,
And some wounds never seem the same.

I say maybe tomorrow the day is light,
Because maybe today my heart will be alright.

Until that day, I will walk alone,

And hide the sadness I've ever known.
