Beyond my smile I have a secret hidden,
Only I and my friend know.
Beyond my smile and false happiness is something that does not show.
A heart that was once so pure,
is now covered in my battle scars,
false hopes,
false dreams,
anger,
saddness,
and the hope for happiness.
Beyond my smile there are things nobody shall ever know,
the deepest darkest secrets I dare not show.
I sometimes wonder what is beyond other people's smiles.
Is there pains that don't really matter,
happiness,
or things that they dare not show?
If I knew what the future would bring so long ago,
I would have enjoyed the young innocence and happiness,
that is only found in a small child.
Beyond my smile there are many things people cannot see,
Beyond my false happiness there is something wrong with me,
Beyond my laugh there are pains that I cannot describe,
and on my heart are things that I wish I could deny.

You really have a way with words. The emotions shared in this piece creates a strong connection with the reader which cannot be broken. This piece is very sad yet meaningful. Keep penning because your words matter!

*nods* I feel the same, your very talented, you expressed your feelings explicidly good luck in the contest

I know how you feel, if I would've known I would've milked childhood for all it's worth. I often know/feel how others feel on the wavelength, but not what they're thinking and I do wonder what their pains are. Yes, there are things I wont tell anyone. Because quite frankly, I don't even want myself to know.

just that it is unbelievable that you are this age and that you write as well as you do that you know as much about life... it blows me away.
