I saw him smiling,
The biggest smile he ever could,
I watched and smiled back to him,
I'm meters away from where he stood,

I heard him laugh,
Oh! maybe jokes came up to his mind,
He burst out laughing,
The humor he had I want to find,

"What a man" I say,
I came closer to him,
I want to ask what made him happy,
But as I reached him I felt a sudden dim,

My brows met,
I look at his face and he's smiling wide,
What's the matter mister? I asked
But he didn't replied,

He laughed again,
I looked straight to his eyes,
Then I knew,
He was full of lies,

Laughing around letting everyone heard him,
Smiling around letting everyone saw him,
He's always there giggling,
But he's out of rhythm,

I was fooled by his smile,
I was captivated by his laugher,
I believed what I saw,
But now I understand that he's a bluffer,

Such a trickster you see,
He was not happy-never,
I shouldn't trust his laughs,
As I stare at her eyes I felt shiver,

It was cold and filled with darkness,
I'm still staring at it-now I'm crying,
He stared at me,
And his soul told me he was lying,

This time I got his name,
He was joker,
He was broken,
But he's full of laughter,

He was abused and rejected,
A man who tried his best to find his purpose,
But no one gave him opportunities,
And so here he was- ambidextrous,

Laugh and smile but has a gloomy eyes,
This man made me realized,
Not all people smile and laugh because they are joyful,
They do because they have to.
