Smile through your pain Laugh through your tears Never let them see What you realy feal Never let them know That you’ll never heal Grin at their jokes Smile at their insults Never let them notice That your dying inside Never let them know You are running out of time Empty inside, hide your pain Don’t let them see It will never be right again Never let them know How you realy feal Who you realy are And how you realy deal with the Pain Insults Numbness Hurt lies So continue to smile Continue to laugh Keep a grin on your face Stay in denile If they don’t know If no one seams concerned You can pretend Oh sweet pretend That everything is fine That everything is perfect That your not crossing the line Where you can’t turn back So keep that smile Plastered onto your face Never let them see The tears behind the grin The pain in your eyes The hurt behing the laugh The truth behind the lies Keep pretending, you love it so Not having to face the truth Never letting it show laugh through your pain smile through your tears never let them see What you realy fear The truth, your pain So I’ll hide behind my lies and Plaster on the Smiles.

Hi, Assefa.

I just read your profile. Do you have family members here in this country? I am also from another country although I have been here for a longer time. I don’t have any family here. I am sorry you have to join this group. But, it has been very supportive and therapeutic for me to be here and share my thoughts and feelings with others. I don’t feel too alone anymore. I hope you’ll find this place helpful too.

Don’t hide your feelings. Don’t hide your pain. Let it all out. It’s okay to reveal your fears and your anger and your sadness. It’s what makes us all human. You don’t have to be courageous and put up a wall when something like this is bearing down on you every minute of the day. Cancer is too huge for one person to battle by themselves. I cried, I screamed, I asked “why me?”.. and I felt better. I didn’t bottle anything up inside. I told people who asked how I was doing exactly how I was doing. We all have our breaking points – and cancer is a heavy duty burden for anyone to carry on their shoulders alone. Let people into your world. You might be pleasantly surprised by the help and support you receive. It’s wonderful that you’ve found this website. I hope that the members here are also able to help you get through these days and are able to help put a genuine smile on your beautiful face.
