Only i know

Youve seen me laugh
Youve seen me cry
But only i know how many tears i have shed
Only i know how your words have left me in the dark cutting so deep there are scars left long after the words have left your lips

All you see is easy smiles and laughter
only i know how i struggle to keep my self together while you are sound alseep. Only i know

I hide behind jokes and laughter. I hide the darkness in me even from myself. I pretend the smiles are real. i pretend that i am happy. I cant even bring myself to see what truelly resides in my soul. Only i know

The persona is expressing the pretense of his/her life. the persona lives in pretense perhaps because s/he wants maintain a relationship with the friend/lover. this happens, people hurting and not telling.
