The Smile

The smile that hides a thousand tears.

The smiles that hide the self harm scars.

The smile that hides the weight of the world on a person shoulders.

Beware of that smile a smile hide so much that it becomes a mask.

A mask that hides all that is dark.

Because a smile is more beautiful than a frown upon the face.

The power of a smile is underestimated.

But that’s the beauty of a smile that hides a thousand tears self harm scars and the weight of the world.
