Everyone says, "What a smiling face,"
It looks to me, not a grace.

My laughter covers over a mile,
But who knows,
A thousand cries hide in my smile,

My face shows no trace of any cries,
My heart only knows its own rides.

My eyes hide a lot of tears,
My face shows a lot of cheers.

My ears heard appreciation,
My heart bears and suffers a ton.

My smile is everything for me, at that time,
But now, it's not for mine.

I laugh, I smile for others' sake.
To me, it's nothing but just a fake.
