Hidden

author
Eva O'sullivan

Their smiling 
but their eyes are crying
Their smiling
but their hearts are dying
Their smiling 
but their feelings are hurting
Their smiling
but their pain is beginning
Their smiling
but their life is collapsing
Their smiling 
but their desire is despairing 
Their smiling
but their lungs are drowning 
Their smiling 
because they are happy to be alive today
