Behind every smile I project are the
tears that have been waiting to fall ever since.
In this generation, a genuine
smile would hardly be seen among the youth, because each smile that we fake
prefigures the pain that we’ve gone through and the tears that we hold back.
So why do we fake our smiles when we
can just cry out our pain?
Because some things are hard to
understand, and SMILING when we’re hurt is the easiest way to say, “I’m tired
of explaining.”
We
choose to smile even though it hurts. We want to cry but we can’t because we
want to show that we can manage. Everyone has problems, but not everyone has a
shoulder to cry on. Not everyone has a person to run to. We all get hurt, but
we don’t always show it. Why? Because we know that not everyone can understand
the reason why. So when there’s no one to understand us but ourselves, the only
thing we can do is to hide the tears we ought to shed.
