PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in the morning I wake up and put my smile on

to hide all of the pain that I am feeling inside

it smears like makeup on my face as the day goes on

from all of the tears that I never cried

when the day is done I take it off and let it fall to the ground

it shatters into a million pieces on the floor, completely broken

I guess everyone forgot to read the warning that this smile is fragile

and may break if it's not handled with care

so I take the glue I keep in my heart and glue my smile back together

so I can get up the next day and wear the smile again

and no one notices that the smile is nothing but coverup to cover up the pain
