Lurks in the corners of our mind It whispers in our ears at night Leaves us feeling lost and blind Sometimes it's a fear of the dark

The Smile That Conceals Pain
The Smile That Conceals Pain A smile that hides behind a facade Of happiness and joy, but oh, so hard To keep up, to maintain its charade

Hope
Hope is the light that guides us through the darkness, A beacon shining bright, a guiding star. It lifts us up when we are feeling low,
