Word of the day - ECCEDENTESIAST
Meaning - someone who only pretends to smile
________
It’s just my lips forming a shape
Like pout, duck face
It’s just smile.
No deep meaning behind it
No witty reason
and no muse.
It’s just a crease
on my face
to show
that I am happy.
It’s a mask
I put on
when
I am surrounded
by smiling and happy
human beings.
It’s all a pretend.
This smile,
which you all think is pretty
is just a fake one.
Behind it,
lies the real me,
the one who stare up at the sky
not to look at the blinking stars,
but to admire
the blackness of the sky.
It’s all a facade.
Not only looks can be deceptive
smiles can be too.
The secrets I hide
the cries I have subdued
the tears I have controlled
the shrieks I have kept inside me
all are hidden
behind this smile.
And only one person
can see behind it,
only one,
you, my dear !
You are the one being
who saw straight through it
and said,
“That sadness behind your smile matches mine”
and then I smiled my real smile.
