A smile here a laugh there leaving haunted eyes easily missed.

Night falls, a tear here a tear there and a muffled sniffle sounds out.

Morning shines the process resets.

Hidden sorrow for the benefit of others.

Night falls, no sleep but a waterfall of tears appear again.

Morning comes, they see the signs they ask as they consider the smiles and laughs they'd seen.

The only answer they receive is given with a smile as they are told "don't worry I'm fine just having a rough time". They sit back in shock and realized this is what we call plastered smiles.
