Literary: The Real Life from Within

He bids you hello, with smiles from left to right
He never fails to make the day bright
To be with him just feels so light
He just makes everyone feel alright

The joyous man filled with fantasy
Said something with ecstasy,
"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success."

His smile never fades,
Not knowing his heart's a grenade,
Waiting to explode promptly
With all the madness he treated fondly

When he's not in sight,
No one knows the real fight
There are tears beneath the joy,
Deep sadness within the boy

He had happiness for a living,
But deep inside he's slowly dying
That never stopped him from fighting,
Each day still resiliently smiling

The one thing that left me crying
Was when everything was falling
No one even tried caring
Because no one knew anything

The happiest man on the outside
Was loneliest on the inside
For the real life is from within
Not from the forged grin
