Behind A Smile

by Kathrynn   Mar 11, 2005


Behind a happy smile
I hide the real true me
concealed deep down inside
where no one else can see

behind an actors smile
I play the part real well
though I'm really broken and dying
no one could ever tell

behind a naughty smile
I pretend to be real bad
so no one can see the truth
that I'm just so constantly sad

behind a cheerful smile
I act like I'm the best
I put on a fancy show
so I can pass their test

behind a flirty smile
I dance around for boys
I make them think I'm happy
and they use me as their toys

behind a timid smile
I glance at you to see
if you've fallen for my show
or if you see the real me

    Hey, I can relate. It was a good poem and written from the heart. I've sometimes wondered if somebody knew the really me of not, so i liked this poem cuz it describes it so well. 5/5 for sure.
