Only Laughing On The Outside

by TinyDancer46   Mar 12, 2006


Walking around with a great big smile
This girl with such a "great" lifestyle
It seems like nothing could go wrong
For this girl who seems so strong

She's labeled lucky everyday
"You're so perfect," her friends say
Oh but if they only knew
That these words are far from true

For she's crying deep inside
The teardrops that she has to hide
The heart inside that always breaks
All behind this smile she fakes

And no one sees the hidden tears
That she's held back all these years
The secrets that she must contain
Behind the laugh that hides the pain

    I have felt this way SO many times! A fake smile is sometimes the only way. But the best cure for a broken heart is a fluffy pillow to cry your heart into. Luv ya~Kim
