Hello
Hi

How are you?
I've been good

I've been meaning to ask.
but why do you always hide behind a mask?
What do you mean?

Well I've seen you struggle
Yet, you don't cry.*
You just act shy
And just smile
...

It's ok if you don't answer
I don't mean to pressure.
I was just wondering why
You never cry.
I cry...
But on the inside
Because the shadows of my past
Lingers on to me.
I hate to have it reappear.
It haunts me when I'm happy.
It slips it's way through
Before I sleep.
I wasn't always
Smiling...
Yet I do it to avoid the questions
That others will always ask.
So to me, ignored by these
Stubborn people.
I do nothing but smile.
I smile
To tell myself
to try and forget the past,
Yet it still stands in
The corner
Glaring at me

I'm sorry, I didn't know.
It's ok I just never showed.
