I was taught as a child that you smile even when you're dying inside.
Laugh even when it hurts so bad you want to cry.
Forgive, even when their ways are unforgivable.
Love even when there is nothing left inside of you.
This is my brave face.
This is the face that hopes no one sees what's under that smile.
I called for help so many times through the years....
But this is what I was left with.
Never solving the issues
Just pretending they are not there
When they are.
Today I wear my brave face.
I fight my will to stay strong.
And tomorrow will be a new day.
I hope this pain is gone.
This vicious cycle has no end.
It keeps circling back again.
But I'll continue with my brave face on...
