Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside

I put on my fake smile for the day and walk outside

We all wear our fake smiles to hide our problems

We hide from our issues and struggles

I hide mine the best

I hide my silent cries with laughter

But sometimes, I show my true self

And they laugh at me

hiding their own cries too

Great job Artsy, this was really good, but you might want to shorten the name. "Fake Smiles" or something like that might fit a bit better. Overall, great job. You're a really good poet and I hope you continue to write poems like this. Also, you might want to talk to some of your friends when you feel like this. They won't laugh...

Thank you! BTW the title is a song, I just put that because I like the song. Have a nice day!
