Hey you! Yes, you, I see you over there smiling but something tells me that smile isn’t real. Day in and day out you may feel like your lying to yourself and fooling others to convince them you are fine. But that isn’t the case, not from where I come from.
You should be able to show that sadness and ask for help instead of screaming inside for help but no one hears you. Stop right there. You know you can come to me, and you know you can speak your mind and I will listen. I'm sure you want to talk about it, but it’s hard and life isn’t easy.
I know you smile and I see that you smile, but deep down you want to cry. You're sad, you feel no one understands the pain, and sadness that you smile to get out conversations with people that you don’t want to have. I totally understand you! Don’t hide away. I’ll keep you safe from all of that because you can be sad around me and I won’t judge you. I will help you get through it because you are a survivor.
You should know how much your family loves you, how much I love you deep within. Your smile should be a real smile every time I see you. One where I know you're smiling so bright that your burst into laughter. And that by far is worth more than anything to me. You can do anything you put your mind too. So I want you to speak to your sadness and let it know it isn’t welcome at those inconvenient times, and let your happiness free.
Seeing your real smile instead of a fake one makes a difference. Seeing your tears is amazing to me because then I can help fix a problem and we can solve many things that are hard to face alone. Things that make your brain hurt or in general make your body tired. That’s why I’m telling you to show what is really behind that smile that the world sees, but also to let out the sadness to the people you know and love.
You know for a fact I’m one of them that can stand by your side and take you the distance that you need to reach. A goal you want to set, and a life that is worth changing and receiving help from people to turn your sadness into happiness. Then you can show a real smile.
You know your smile is beautiful. The way you hold yourself up high and not care about what others think. I know you have found a passion and you're showing me that by the way your facial expression has changed. I’m so happy we're friends. I’m so happy you're are alive and I’m showing you that every second I can. You are worth living for, you can show sadness but have a real, genuine smile.
I just though I would tell you. Smile bright and your future will show you everything
