I think some of the saddest people in the world are the happy ones. They hide their pain with a smile. They joke, they laugh, they smile.
You don't realize how much they're truly hurting. But they cover it all with a simple smile.
And when they finally do open up and show some of their pain, people criticize.
"Be happy"
"You should smile more"
I can't
Don't expect me to be happy all the time
I can cry if I want to
I don't want to be happy all the time
It hurts to always smile
To hide that pain
Keeping all my feelings locked up
And people expect me to just throw away the key
One day I'll burst
And all those feelings will come out like a raging river
Holding back your pain isn't good for you
You have to let it out eventually
But us people don't want to show the world our pain
Our weakness
We feel likes it's our duty to make the people around us happy
To make them laugh and comfort them when they're sad
But who will comfort us?
Who will be there to tell us it's ok?
We have so many friends who we've been there for
But when it's our turn to be comforted, to have a shoulder to cry on
We realize how truly alone we are
So we hold it in
We try our best to make others happy
And when the tables turn, we hide in a dark quite room
And let all our sorrows out
People always fall for the cold male lead in the story
But I always look at the second male lead
The happy, flirtatious one
He falls so deeply for the FML but has to watch as she falls in love for the bad boy
The ml bullied the FML and treated her like dirt before he fell for her
While the second ml has always been there for her
Her comforted her and tried his best to make her happy
But yet she chose him
The typical, cold bad boy
Even after getting his heart shattered the second ml will smile through it all
But there's one thing about that smile
One thing that other people won't notice
Yes he's smiling
But is he truelly happy?
Are we truly happy?
Just by smiling
Because we hold back our pain so much, we become twisted in a way, our smile
If your reading this and you feel tired of always smiling and joking around
Then listen to me
Cry
Let it out
It's ok
I'm hear for you
Even if you don't see or feel me, I'm still here, talk to me
Cry
Shout
Scream
You have feelings too
Crying dose not make you weak
It only makes you stronger
Once you're done crying your heart out you can smile
A true smile
The first smile you never had to fake
Your heart will feel free
And you'll be glad to have finally let it out
I know
Because I have been there too
I'm here for you
