I wonder, do you feel it too?
The weight I carry, though smiles break through.
Behind every grin, there's a hidden strain,
Learning the art of smiling through the pain.

Words choke back, trapped inside,
A heart in silence, nowhere to confide.
Uncertain steps on a road unclear,
Yet I’ve held on far longer than fear.

I don’t need pity, just some air,
I reached for help, but found none there.
Why am I pushing through this fight,
When the world’s so blind to my plight?

Still, I smile through it all, holding tight,
Masking the dark with borrowed light.
Behind this smile, a storm remains,
But I'll keep on smiling through the pain.
