If someone looks behind the smile and takes the time to find out what you are going through, they may be surprised. Appearances can be deceiving.

You think you know me, but you have no idea.

When you see me smiling you may think that my life is perfect, or that I have no problems or pains that I suffer through, but nothing could be further from the truth. Before you judge my life to be perfect and without any pain make sure you know who I really am and what I go through each and every day. I may be a single parent struggling to make ends meet, putting on a smile so my children do not see the fear and pain I try so hard to hide. I may have a disability or terminal illness that is not always obvious, but that does not mean I am not affected by these things.

Look behind my smile and take the time to find out who I am and what I go through, you may be surprised.

Behind every smile that I show
Lies a pain that one can never know.

If you look at her closely
You can see that
Every now and then
She turns away from her group of friends
Her smile fades
And she becomes another person for a few seconds
A sad person
A person who is broken and damaged
And after a few depressing seconds
She goes back to the group
Smiling and joking around
She almost looks like she's actually happy
But if you look at her closely
You can see how fake her smile really is
And you can see all the wreckage behind her "smile"

“You look at me and think, ‘he’s so happy’ but there’s so much behind this fake smile that you will never know.”

Just because a person smiles all the time doesn’t mean their life is perfect. That smile is a symbol of hope and strength.

“He frowned. She laughed. He brightened. She pouted. He grinned. She flinched. Come on: we don’t do that. Except when we’re pretending. Only babies frown and flinch. The rest of us just fake with our fake faces. He grinned. No He didn’t. If a guy grins at you for real these days, you’d better chop his head off before he chops off yours. Soon the sneeze and the yawn will be mostly for show. Even the twitch. She laughed. No she didn’t. We laugh about twice a year. Most of us have lost our laughs and now make do with false ones. He smiled. Not quite true. All that no good to think, no good to say, no good to write. All that no good to write.”

— Martin Amis

“How many more of us are faking the facade? How many more of us are pretending to be something we’re not? Even better, how many of us will have the courage to be ourselves regardless of what others think?” 

― Katie McGarry

We know nothing of the trials, sorrows and temptations of those around us, of pillows wet with sobs, of the life-tragedy that may be hidden behind a smile, of the secret cares, struggles, and worries that shorten life and leave their mark in hair prematurely whitened, and a character changed and almost recreated in a few days. Let us not dare to add to the burden of another the pain of our judgment.

Behind your enemy’s smile lies treachery. Show him that behind yours lies steel. Fail to do so, and you only make him bolder.”

We seem happy on the outside, but imagine the dark story behind that smile. 

You don’t know whats behind that smile. You cant imagine who someone will turn out to be. We assume the sun will rise every morning just because it has done every other day, but what happens when you wake up to darkness? When you open your eyes and find, today is the one different day?
