Seta Soujirou

Smiling eyes
And happy face
Movements made
With so much grace

People look
They look and see
The cheerful person 
That he appears to be

He's emotionless inside
They always say
But he merely smiles
And then he turns away

For they don't know
That they're all wrong
He's hurting inside
For far too long.

Too many things
He holds inside
Too many secrets
He tries to hide

He tries so hard
To forget the past
But the pain inside
Seems to last.

It's hard for him
To trust again
After suffering in the past
And without having a friend.

His heart cries out
For someone to stay
To be his friend
And never go away

But a different story
His eyes do tell
When you turn to him
He seems so well

So when no one understands
He simply hides,
Behind that smile,
His pain inside...
