Underneath my smile is sadness and anger
There is so much darkness and pain that the light does not have the strength to shine through making it impossible to even appear happy
This frown on my face stays and almost becomes permanent
but only for a while then it fades away and my sky turns grey
I cry, scream and shout all I can do is think of God and tell him that I want out
I pray- help me Lord hear my cry let me out is this a test am I passing or failing please send me a sign I really am good I know I can control myself please answer me Lord
