In sunshine's glow,
we wear a smile,
yet deep inside,
we feel the trial.
The weight of hope
can feel so grand,
but woes can linger,
close at hand.
With every cheer,
loiters niggling doubt,
can happiness withstand
what life is about?
To be the light,
yet fear the strain,
When the bright facade
can crack and fray.
Beneath the mask,
a heart may strain,
for constant joy
can feel like pain.

In sunshine's glow,
we wear a smile,
yet deep inside,
we feel the trial.
The weight of hope
can feel so grand,
but woes can linger,
close at hand.
With every cheer,
loiters niggling doubt,
can happiness withstand
what life is about?
To be the light,
yet fear the strain,
When the bright facade
can crack and fray.
Beneath the mask,
a heart may strain,
for constant joy
can feel like pain.
