[ In laughter I hide my sorrow. ]

In laughter I hide my sorrow.
In smiles I hide the truth,
I've always worn a mask
which none have broken through
to be able to see the twisted soul
which has come to be called mine,
I know I need to show it, I know I mustn't hide

from the pain, neglect, and misfortune,

but it's hard to see the truth when...

your hiding behind the lies.

Author notes

Well, I guess it's about how people hide their pain when their upset.

    I truly like this poem I feel anguished and disturbed by it, mostly because it's totally true. Everyone tries to hide there true feeling from time ti time, but later you end up realizing that your just hurting yourself

    Keep penning and expressing

    That's certainly true. I especially liked the part that says it's hard to see the truth when you are hiding behind the lies. Real nice.

    I need more.

    It's very true, and a lot of people do this. Unfortunitly, a lot of people write about this, so maybe give your own unique twist on it. Show sometime where you hid it, and show emotion don't tell me what you feel.
