Is There Pain Behind Your Smile?

Do y’all
Pretend
That you aren’t
Suffering?
Do some of you,
Choose
Not to let yourself
Admit it?
Is there pain
Behind
Your smile?
Why hide it?
It’d be more comforting
To know
That we are all
In this together
And suffering bravely
Doesn't mean
Hiding it
That
Makes the rest of us feel
Like we are alone
In our own suffering
Maybe
It’s easier for us
To ignore it
To hide from it
To pretend it doesn't exist
Then to work
To fix it.
