False

Tears run like a river down my skin,
But you cannot see them, for they are within,
You may see my scars but you know not what they mean,
For their understandings are not supposed to be seen,
I have this hidden pain that nobody knows,
For this smile on my face never lets it show,
I pretend happiness ovewhelms me,
Just so you will let me be.
