The Passport
He stared at the passport and sighed
As his mind travelled back in time
A smile conceals a thousand pain
As man is led down the drain.
"Pretty faces cry too"
He murmured quietly
As the tears gathered freely
Ready to flood the room.
It's one thing to be alive
And another to truly live
How happy and free can man be
When sorrow refuses to leave?
Not all happy faces are sadness free
And not all laughter is real
A smile hides a thousand pain
And life hurts again and again.
