smiles are misleading
Don’t ever believe them
Fake smiles, all I know
Ornate my face, people are jealous of
the pain I concealed inside
Turmoil in head
You will never know
Soul crying in the dark
Running in distress
Anxiety which I never divulge
Hiding behind that big smile
More afraid of sympathy
That is never meant
Gives more grief
As nobody ever understands
I smile and laugh
On my petty self
Before anyone else would know
May be
Giving me the strength to face it all
To always put a brave self
Is not easy, you know
want for an escape
Where I can be myself
Not all smiling faces
Are happy faces, you know
Smiles are always misleading, I guess so!!!!!

“ Fake it till you make it “ fake a smile , if need be , to hide the pain inside …( from parents / loved ones )
that curve sends some message to brain .. it starts setting things right in the mind , bit by bit ..
I used the above to move ahead from a bitter break up many years ago 😊

Beautifully penned. Smiles are very misleading. Most of the time they are just a facade… Like beautiful pictures captured on a camera, smiles be deceiving.

सच है यह बात तो पर अगर आप अपने जीवन में एक ऐसा मित्र बना ले जो आपकी मुस्कान के पीछे छिपा दर्द, आपके क्रोध के पीछे छिपा आपका प्रेम और आपके मौन के पीछे छिपी आपकी भावनाओं को जो समझ ले, जो मित्र आपकी यह तीन बातें जानता है तोह इनके सहारे आप जीवन की बड़ी से बड़ी कठनाईया पार कर सकते है।
