For what lies under the surface may be far removed from what you can see... Sadness Within Are you in your happy place? Smile creased lines upon your face Or is there something else…an inkling a trace That leaves a bitter soured taste Something from within That gnaws nags starts and begins To pull you down and suck you in Away from the happy to the sadness therein A sense a fear that no one comes near That when they do all they see is the smile not the tear Tear away from gazing eyes, disappear Let them not see what is truly here
