What do you see when you look at me?  

More than likely, you see me with a smile on my face, and laughter escaping from my lips.

But have you ever wondered,
what is behind the smile.
If that smile is genuine, and real?
Is that laughter real, or does it sound a little forced to you?
Have you ever looked at or into my eyes when I smile?

If you did, you would see that my smile,
does not reach my eyes.

Instead of happiness, you'll see a flash of my pain.

For I am unable to place a mask over my eyes,

no matter how hard I try.

No one can truly hide their real feelings,

can't keep them from slipping through their eyes.

When you look at someone, for a second you are

able to see their true feelings before their wall goes up.  

Careful you must be, when observing the outer emotions

of someone.
