The simple things can be worth while,
A joyous laugh, a loving smile.
We take these things as if they were free,
But some have secrets that others can't see.
Behind that laugh, a troubled heart,
A tortured soul that's torn apart.
Behind that smile, emotional distress,
A pleading pray for final rest.
Some have pain that destroy their life,
No relief from hardship, a continuos strife.
The world is full of actors that could win a gold prize,
But keeping in such emotions will be the start to their demise.
So before you think a smile is pure, think of what may be,
Think of what may be hidden, what you cannot see.
