Smiling Masquerade
April 11, 2014
Am I the only one in church today feelin' the rain?
Does anyone else ever feel any pain?
Is there anyone else who hurts like me?
I look and see smiles that seem so free
For me it's the norm;
I too, show a smile (to hide my secret storm)
When I take a look around, everyone seems so happy, so strong
Here do I even belong?
No one has their pain displayed
It is of course, the smiling masquerade
