Every face that smiles is not happy

They love your smile, so keep smiling even when you are unhappy, when you are in grief, even when you can’t breathe the air & want to cry Loud.

People should not know; under that band aid really were cuts, the scars that you did last night & they wouldn’t know as long as you are smiling. Let them assume you again scrapped your head with some corner of the door.

I know it’s difficult to hold back the tears, the pain that is piercing your heart, I know the choke is blocking your throat, but you still can’t cry, hold it tight… Don’t let it roll out…

Wake up each morning bury the emotions live & wear a smile to show. You can’t share the real story of your swollen eyes, even when your pillows have witnessed it last night. Put up your makeup, dress for the day and keep smiling throughout.

Indeed, Smile doesn’t takes the pain away but it makes them unnoticeable to others.

Understand! We live in a judgmental world, Once you breakdown they will want know the reason and if you share it, the judgement starts then and there, so just fake a smile. Show them you are normal and fine just like they are. Apparently they are doing the same.

People tend to give suggestions and advises which are never helpful & behind you, they will talk to others about it or perhaps make fun of it. Their sympathy will only be in words for sure and you don’t want that right? The one who is weak will ask for it. But you are strong, very strong. So let the moon and pillows be your best friends you can share your upheavals with. Tell them your story in closed doors.

No one can understand the storm inside you. So keep smiling. Just like the things that glitter but are not gold. Keep smiling even when you’re unhappy.
