I see you
Smiling away
Trying to make everyone around the table happy
Constantly cracking jokes
Being sarcastic
Trying very hard to be witty
But I also know
That deep down inside
There's a little boy
Who carries a lot of sadness in his heart
Who carries a lot of love for others
Who is stressed out
Due to changing times
Added responsibilities
Uncertain situations
And yet
Never shows it to the world
Because he knows how hard it is
To be stuck in negative situations
With no feeling of hope
So he doesn't want to show
Sadness
Just in case
Someone is reminded of their own sadness
When they see him
So he continues to smile
Swallow his sorrow
And carry on
Forward.
