behind my smile
Jazmin 1951
Look into my eyes,
would you notice a person hurting … A soul that's fighting to survive
what do you hope to see...
May be a person that is happy, smiling constantly,
Keep looking in my eyes,
you will have a firsthand view, of feelings that are so unpleasant .
Pain that is also true
I ask for no sympathy,
see me as the same person
Don't treat me differently.
