Watch closely
the boy with an easy grin.
You don’t know
what pain he is hiding within.
He desires
to be happy-go
and forces
to make himself so.
He does not
like unhappiness
anywhere.
No misery, no sadness.
Even though
he may have a heavy heart
he sure tries
to act a different part.
But an act
belongs in a play of pretend
and a play
will always have an end.
Watch closely
that boy with an easy grin
because he
may be hiding pain within.
