There are two kinds of people
Those who hide behind clothes and bracelets
And those who hide behind laughter and fake smiles
I am the second kind
I hide my pain and sorrow
I hide the abuse
I hide the bullying
I hide the tears
I hide the screams
I bury it all
Beneath a smile and a little laughter
Till I can let it out
Later at night.
