Smile to keep from crying

I smile to keep from crying

Because I don't want people to see

My true feelings

What deep inside of me

Sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough

Inferior to the people I see

I look in the mirror and I don't like what's in front of me

I don't think I'm beautiful

And that's why I remain alone

I fear rejection and I don't feel that any man would ever truly love me

So I smile to keep from crying

Because I would hate for them to know

That I feel judged for being a single mother

People look down on me because I struggle

I don't have the finer things in life

My car is isn't new

My clothes aren't designer

I don't have the latest hairdo

My bank account is bare

I don't have any real true friends

People don't wanna see me win

They would rather see me struggle

So they can look down on me

Keep me at the bottom

No encouragement at all

But I smile to keep from crying

And I still stand tall

I laugh as I push through it all

Because I could never give them the satisfaction of seeing me fall
