3. through the pain

“smile through the pain.”
you know how hard it is
to smile through the pain?
acting like everything
is going okay, but
you just don’t want
to cause a commotion?
hanging with your friends,
having a good ol’ time,
but your heart’s just
jumping out of your throat,
because you feel like shit?

it looks so easy, but
it takes a lot out of you.
you want to be happy,
you want to laugh, and
you want to have fun,
but you’re dying inside
and you just want to
go back to your room,
crawl into bed, and
forget everything.

but you don’t want
to show your pain,
you’ve gotta stay
strong and brave,
push through it
and enjoy life.
“you’re a man,
and men don’t
show sadness,
they fight on,
and keep going.”

but it hurts.
