When they look at me
They see a smile
They see my dimples
They see me laughing

They don’t see the tears
That I’m holding back
From the pain within me
The pain from everything

When I laugh hard
It’s not a tear of happiness
But a tear of pain
Betraying my expression
They’re flooding over the dam

Just because you don’t see the wounds
Doesn’t mean I’m not hurting
You’re just looking at the surface
Not deep within

So next time you see me
Look within my soul
And you just might see
My pain…
