Wearing a Smile

She smiles so sweetly
To hide the fear
To hide the pain
That's always near

Her stomach aches
From being sad
She wants to stop
Feeling so bad

She wishes the world
Were a happier place
That way she could put
A smile on her face

Will no one notice
The pain that's inside
Can no one see
How much she's cried?

Wanting to feel free
Wanting to be happy
Tired of pretending that
There is no misery

What will it take
For people to know
It's actually fake-
The smile that she shows

She has the world fooled
Thinking she's pleased
With how her life's going
They can be so naive

But someone will see
..Someday soon..
And notice that there
Is no bright moon

To light up her misery
To fade away pain
Make her really smile
Just one time, again
