What you see are serene smiles
masking
tumultuous thoughts.
I am like a clown
with a smile plastered on its face
dancing on stage to laughter and applause
but
crying on the inside.
The heart bleeds.
The head hurts.
Tears well up but I blink them away
and put up a nonchalant front.
I smile at you, serenely.
But, hang on.
If you look more closely,
you will realise
what you see
isn’t what you see.
