Smile Poem by HannahJane Brazier

It’s amazing what you can hide behind a smile
All the secrets that everyone will never know
Also all the pain that you keep to yourself
If you just keep smiling no one will ever guess
Because they are in a world of there own and
They will never know what’s behind your smile
And you know they will never ever guess or know
Everything that you have been put through

Everyday you want them to just understand you
But they wont and everyday you die a little inside
Soon there will nothing of you left they wont guess
So keep on smiling if you want nothing for you to change
You want them to help you and you keep reaching out
But it’s never enough and you know that’s its not
You never believe in yourself let alone anyone else
Smiles become part of your lie one you can’t stop
But you will try and try but you know there is no point
All of your past is just a little deeper than your smile
Stuff that you will never forget but still keep its effect

So fight the past and move on make your smile real
It’s going to be hard but the past cant hurt you
And if it’s the future then lets hope it will pass
Even if some things last forever but most of all don’t forget
To look behind other peoples smiles and find their past
Help them reach out and get help because you know
What’s its like to hide behind a smile.
