There’s A Lot Going On Behind My Smile

There's a lot going on
behind my smile.

Smile, before your insecurities
blind you completely.

Take control of your thoughts,
before your thoughts control you.

It is easier to wear a smile
Than explaining
what's going on in my mind.

It’s easier that a smile I wear,
Than my mind I bare.
Very few really care,
Cherish the ones who do, it’s rare!

Feelings that cloud my mind,
Spinning a web inside my head,
A web so dark and twisted,
Positivity has no way to get inside.
Yet I have a smile on my face,
A curve that I use as my mask,
Not just to hide the real me from others,
But at times even from myself.

So much doubt and fear in my mind,
I've had to hide my eyes
so others can't see the pain
that resides in each,
my smile deceives you,
but my eyes betray me

My thoughts are not ME
Smile and let me just be!

A smile hides all
what is going through your head

Just because you see me
doesn't mean you know me.

Stop those regular commentaries,
and get rid of your insecurities.

You don't know
what a person holds
beneath her smile.

So, before assuming,
walk with her, a mile.

Self-doubt clouds my mind.
