BEYOND THE SMILES

On the face
A smile is seen
So radiant, colourful and beautiful
It's such a lovely curve
That can put things straight
And change even the worst state

But what about the inside?
A look beyond the smiles
Could reveal heaps of pain
Hurts of the past
Insecurities of the present
And fears for tomorrow

A load of smiles
Yet worries piles
For a long while
Just like a million miles

In different places
We see different faces
Different smiles
In different styles
But look beyond the smiles
And save the troubled soul
Covered with the mask called SMILE
