TO SOMEONE I ADMIRE

24

dietro quei sorrisi

[behind those smiles]

while comforting someone

i am ceasing my tears to fall down

while caressing someone's back

i needed someone to caress mine too


i listen to someone

while i tried my best to be heard

i make them feel validated

when i seek for validations myself



i said it was okay

but the fact is, it wasn't

i needed someone beside me

i needed someone to talk too



there's a hidden grief inside me

that i didn't talk about

there's a painful memory

behind those smiles
