I smile for a while



I smile for a while
Even when  I am
In pain
It is a hard thing to do
It is not easy to smile
Yes I don't want then to
See that I am in pain
I been also in pain
For a long time now
I know that is a crazy thing to do
But I don't want my friends to
See me in pain
Because they
Worried a lot about me
Yes my friends are very good
To me
Yes I know that they care about me
Yes my friends are always bitching
At me because
I think that they always tells me
That I have to take better care of myself
Yes they are right about that
