I go through my days with a smile on my face, while I silently scream in my head.

Those around me don't know how badly I hurt inside.

Those who can see pretend they don't, they would rather think I really am happy.

Those around me don't know how hard it is to smile

I go through my days with a smile on my face and little hope in my heart.

Those around me don't know how I struggle to walk each day.

I visit every doctor, yet receive no news.

Those around me don't know how hard each day can be.

I pay no attention to the pain behind the curtain, It is how I survive.
