The Truth

The people who you see,
That act the craziest,
And make everyone laugh.
Those are the ones,
That are hiding pain,
And all of their emotions.
They cry themselves to sleep,
Waking up with dried tears.
They make everyone smile,
Because they don't want anyone upset.
They try to fix others,
When their own lives are falling apart.
They are the ones all around you,
With fake smiles on their faces.
The one's who say "I'm fine."
Through gritted teeth,
And faces full of shame.
They hide their scars,
Their ugly bruises.
Their battle against daily life.  
If you were to look beyond,
You'd see what I'm talking about.
Just take a look at my life.
