smile...or is it?

ive found that some of the people who appear to be the most upbeat and can make you smile the most & easiest are the ones hurting the most & are the saddest.  take some time to make them smile, tell them you care & show 'em some love.

sometime people have the ability to help others & know what to say to many but when it comes to oneself they can not take that advice. hypocrit? maybe, but not in my eyes. the ability to help others before helping ones self might not be the best thing but shouldnt the fact that others are being helped be the most important thing? sometimes these people just need to hear what that have been telling others, even if it is their own words spit right back at them or even said in a different way.

when you see a smile, think about if its true or if its a mask, dont be afraid to dig a bit to get to the truth...

when you hear a laugh, listen, really listen, you may be suprised at what you hear...


remember, behind those words & smiles there can be much pain & sadness...

-previous entry, re read...think about, take what you want-

BLIND

You see a smile

I see pain

You hear joy

I hear sorrow

You hear a laugh

I hear a cover

You hear "I'm ok"

I hear "I'm hurting"

You see me

But don't REALLY see me

You hear me

But don't really listen

I mask

You don't dig

Will you still love

When you see past the mask...

Will you ever even see underneath

A smile

A laugh

A mask

...Cover up

The pain

The secrets

The sorrow

But

No tears will fall

No pain will be dealt

Masks continue to pile on

And I shall speak but two words...

"I'm ok"

One day these two, short words may be true, just maybe...
