Behind the Facade

I place on my fake smile,
Keeping up my facade yet another day.
But my heartaches all the while,
No comfort can be found in anything they say.

I act the part of the fool,
And all the while wondering why.
Then I remember the forgotten rule,
If you don't laugh you'll surely cry.

Behind my facade I feel lost,
Like a lonely child without a home.
I refuse to show the real me at all cost.
Will I never let my true self be known?

Though I mask it all with a smile,
I laugh to ease my pain.
But it only lasts a little while;
All my laughter is in vain.

Though I'll laugh it off if they ask,
I wonder if any of them will see
Beyond my well placed mask.
Will they ever see the real me?
