behind my smile

Jazmin 1951

Look into my eyes,
 would you notice a person hurting … A soul that's fighting to survive

 what do you hope to see...
 May be a person that is happy, smiling constantly,
 Keep looking in my eyes,
 you will have a firsthand view, of feelings that are so unpleasant .

Pain that is also true
 I ask for no sympathy,
 see me as the same person
 Don't treat me differently.
