Behind my smile

BEHIND MY SMILE

Behind my smile, resides my broken self.

I am filled with regrets and guilt,

My smile is a disguise,

For others to believe it.

Behind my smile, are tears hidden,

They successfully deceive others.

Behind my smile are the days I suffered,

Mourning and spending sleepless nights,

Thinking about how worse it has been,

Despite I am scattered and hurt so bad,

The best I can give others is my smile.

this is very relatable and well written. I do have one suggestion or question- Behind my smile, are tears hidden,
They successfully deceive others."
by this, are you meaning that the tears are deceiving or the smile? it's kind of confusing the way it is worded, but besides that its great!

I meant that my smile is deceiving. Thank you so much for reading. I am happy that you liked it.

True...to not let your sadness become contagious, you have to put on a smile to deceive others...that's the best you can do sometimes. A bittersweet poem. Very well expressed!
