behind the smile

they dance in the daylight faces aglow,

a symphony of laughter a brilliant show.

but beneath the joy, behind the cheer,

a fragile truth lies tangled here.


a soul may laugh but silence cries,

a tempest lives behind calm skies.

so tread with kindness- look with care,

for not all burdens are laid bare.


a mask can hide but not erase, 

the truth that lingers behind a face.

and when you see joy that seems too bright,

remember; darkness hides in the light.

@xxLaylaxx

🥺

I cried because this resonated.

I've been there.

I know the heaviness of carrying it.

The pretence.

The exhaustion.

The sadness.

The actions, the smile, they all come easily, now they are like an armour, you cannot wait until the day comes when you are no longer pretending.

Your words weave a tapestry of hurt, of tiredness, of burden, but I know, it can change, you do heal, and one day you find yourself laughing and your heart stops a beat, because you mean it 💕💜
