People only notice changes
when they show up on the surface.
Struggles only become real things
when people start to see the difference.
If you're happy out in public,
then your sadness is invalid.
You can't be happy, not once at all,
for true sadness to be exhibited.
They say the happiest of people
are the worst on the inside;
that's because they're told to keep it
bottled up, all nice and tight.
I've been sad like this for years now,
but it's best to just play along.
It's easier to just put up a front
then sharing with you what is wrong.
So validate the people who
have to be happy on purpose.
because I guarantee that it
is only there; just on the surface.
