Behind A Painted Smile

by Elisheba Jackson   Nov 9, 2005


People always tell me to smile
Why when its not real
The reason why I smile
Is to hide the way I feel

I am so frustrated
Why do I have to go through this
I feel like I don't belong here
I'm tired of this shit

It hurts me to smile
I'm used to walking around wearing a frown
People don't understand my life
My world has been turned upside down

When I find happiness
It only lasts for awhile
So what do I do with the pain and hurt
I hide it behind a painted smile
