My face smiles. My heart screams in pain

A smile doesn't make it all go away. It doesn't mean everything is suddenly better, and alright again.
It doesn't make all the bad things disappear. And it doesn't mean I'm smiling on the inside too.
A laugh doesn't mean the tears are dry. It doesn't mean the excruciating pain has gone. It doesn't mean I don't need to talk about how I feel. It doesn't mean my life is a laugh.
A hug is nice; but just because you gave me a hug, it doesn't mean all the sh!t has vanished from my life. It doesn't make me feel perfectly happy again. It doesn't mean you love me. Its just a hug. But I like hugs.
A friendly kiss is adorable; but it doesn't take away the fear I feel. It doesn't mean you're there all the time to give me love. It doesn't mean I will never be alone. And it doesn't mean I can cope.
So, I'm good at hiding how I feel. So, I'm bad at expressing things, and find it so, SO hard to ask for help. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to find out what is wrong. That doesn't mean I don't want help. That doesn't mean you shouldn't offer. You should be able to tell when something is wrong. I shouldn't need to tell you.
This is just a short poem to tell you that I need you, and always will. A poem to say, that just because someone is good at hiding their sadness, and can cover up their tears with smiles, it doesn't mean they don't need you to be there for them. It doesn't mean they don't need your shoulder to cry on, and your kisses to dry their tears. It doesn't mean you should take people at face value.
Think about things. Talk to people. Share you're feelings.
But never stop loving people, whatever they do. And never forget to hug those people who need it.
But remember, I still hurt!! (So lots of TLC would be nice please!)
