The optimist has the heaviest heart,
Though he hides it from the world.
That smile holds him together,
Projects a confident facade.
On the outside his eyes smile deceptively,
Inside a tear rolls slowly down his cheek.
It's a guise he can't remove,
Praying it sinks past skin deep.
I still feel this way most days. I can smile and laugh in
the face of anything no matter what I'm really feeling inside.
