These days I have become pretty good at Smiling, all the time Everyone says I look so happy Everyone says I am a jolly person Everyone says I have such a positive outlook And that smile, it never fades I envision someone coming to me, And say, "I saw your mask crack", Asking me if I am okay I imagine that someone, knows me well enough To know that I am feigning But, no one around me bothers To know what's going inside No one seems to even think That I probably cry myself to sleep each time No one thinks of me But, maybe I am the one wrong here Isn't it me who is pretending? Shouldn't I ask for help? Shouldn't it be me who opens herself? But again, don't people know its hard to do so?
So, here’s another post of #BookBits based on the quote:
“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.”
Excited to see, who guesses the book!!
Its outstanding😘👌🏻👍🏻

Something about this poem confirms my strange uncanny belief that you have a lot more going on in your life/head than you ever let on. I never said it before because I didn’t wanna sound creepy, plus it’s so obvious it’s hard to open up. Plus, I relate! I loved this poem, so so much!! 😭

First of all, its not creepy. You’re a wonderful person to have concerns about someone you don’t know irl.
Well, it is kinda true that there are things going on and its hard to deal with them all at once. Mostly, because its scary realising that I am actually growing up. You get what i mean?
I can’t stay I am glad you relate. Guess, we both have things going on? If you ever wanna talk or vent out, remember me❤
And thank you nehal. Just asking makes a lot of difference 🤗❤

And adding to the last line, it’s not just that it’s hard to open up, it’s also that they don’t understand, they think it’s easy and it’s them who make us want to pretend all the time
