Life isn't always grand

Life isn't always grand,
You can put on a smile,
Act like you don't care,
But it catches up.
The time comes when you feel overwhelmed,
Where the tiniest jabs
The ones that you just laughed at because they were in fun,
Those little ones can make you snap.
People will wonder what's up,
You don't say anything though.
You just let it go, say everything's fine.
A little smile is given when needed,
But talking isn't key.
Quietness is good,
Something you are grateful to have.
No one hounding you about something,
Trying to get you to talk,
Just quiet and maybe some music.

Your fists want to hit,
Want to find something that won't get hurt,
And just pulverise it.
Self control is key though,
You don't lose it,
The fists just remain at your side,
Clenching and unclenching.
You want to scream at the top of your lungs,
Just get it out,
But people are around,
You're the level headed one,
The one that never loses it,
And when you do on those rare occasions,
It's when you're in a heated argument,
It's overlooked.

Life's not always grand,
You put on a smile
Or you can break down.
Either way,
You'll face life.

Please tell me what you think

    It should be written as "whats" in the first line second stanze. Reread the next line that follows, grammar error. Nice words of expression perhaps more emotions though...but some lines were nice

      It's meant to be want in the first line of the second stanza. The fists are searching, wanting to hit something, but not wanting to hurt a person.

    I think its true that sometimes you just need to let your feelings out and other times peace & quiet is most helpful.
