A Hidden Smile

You see a smile on my face,
but have you ever seen what hides behind these teeth.

What goes on deep in this mind.
I've worked for this smile,
this happiness I'm feeling today, because not to long ago that smile was fake
nothing but plastic flowers that look real,
but once you get down to it they are just sythenic material made for man.

Everything seemed to be going fine in my life and I played the content happy peasant,
but I was anything but happy.

I was drowning and washing away from the shore with the sea waves.
Silently I would cry,
but sometimes I'd scream because all the years came crashing down on me.

So even though along the way I found myself,
I find myself getting lost again in the ocean current,
but at least this time I know how to swim and not sink.
