fake smiles

have you ever looked into somebody. like look past what they are wearing, past the fact that maybe their hair doesnt look good, or for that matter you could never get your hair to do what theirs is doing....just look past everything society wants us to see...past makeup, look through smiles...have you ever really looked at a complete stranger before, and wondered what their day was like? wondered what they are facing at home? wonder if the makeup and name brand clothes are covering up brusies and pain..maybe its pain inside, pain nobody can see...maybe see a scar on somebody..and wonder what happend? complete strangers. why do i think of this stuff? while we were at the mall tonight i couldnt help but notice how many people walked around with frowns...and then how many walked around with smiles...but i saw the kind of smile that is just holding back a river of tears...know what im talking about? a smile that tries so hard not to let the faintest sign of pain shine through, but the pain just runs through the cracks of the smile. for some reason tonight i've thought so much about how people feel inside. how for some reason society tells us that hurting is weak...in all reality its normal...i think thats all i've got for tonight...theres more on my mind but i just cant seem to put it into words...hmm..yea..good bye
