Hide a frown with a smile

I can,

hide a frown with a smile,

hide a tear with a laugh,

and look like my glass is full and not half.

I can fool my mom,

I can fool my dad,

but it doesn't hide the fact that I'm sad.

I can run here,

I can run there,

by I can't escape it anywhere.

It hurts like a rotted tooth,

it seems I have but one option:

to tell the truth.

I can humble it as much as I could,

but it doesn't mean I should.

I have just one thing to say,

which to my dismay is:

I still miss you.
