HER by Zee
She smiles so wide, but there's more to her inside
A world of hurt and pain, that she tries to hide
She's a master at disguise, a pro at pretending
But inside, her emotions are constantly bending
She's not the person you think you know
Her smile is a mask that doesn't show
The hurt and pain she carries each day
In her heart, it never goes away
Behind her smile, there are tears to be shed
And nights where she can't sleep in her bed
But still, she keeps on smiling bright
Even though she's fighting an internal fight
So, if you know someone who smiles a lot
Remember, there's a chance they're hurting a lot
Take the time to show them that you care
And maybe, they'll feel like they can share
About this poem
This poem is about a person who appears to be happy and smiling on the outside, but inside, they are struggling with emotional pain and hurt. The person has become skilled at hiding their true feelings and putting on a facade of happiness. However, the poem reminds us that there may be more going on beneath the surface for people who seem outwardly happy, and it encourages us to show empathy and compassion to those around us who may be silently struggling with their own pain.
