Smiles That Hide

Expressions are hidden

By smiles that only mask

What's truly hidden inside of you,

But no one wants to ask.

-----

Afraid of rejection, hurt, and struggles,

You try to hide your face.

People ask what's wrong with you,

But their questions go to waste.

-----

You cannot show your tearstained face,

If you want to keep a secret.

There's no one even close to you

That you'd trust enough to keep it.

-----

So people normally just leave you be

To your smiles and your lies.

But of course they'll show up

Just to say Goodbye.
