Optical illusion
I'm happy, dancing with joy.
Laughing like I've heard the best joke ever told.
I'm smiling as if I was born this way.
…
But if you take a closer look.
If you come as close as you can, you will see my eyes are filled with tears.
Tears I'm having the battle of my life with.
It's nothing personal.
It's like I feel the pain of one and a million others.
…
I keep hearing, reading how the human race has come so far.
But then just a channel, a page after I get to know the awful things others are going through.
And it pains. It pains to the extent that I could cry on the outside and in inside at the same time.
