When those smiles have faded,
When their true faces are in your view
When their irritation sets in,
When you can no longer smile back.

When you feel like a nuisance.
When you start to feel truly alone.
When even words can no longer suffice,
When those who understood, have stopped.

When their strange moods attack you,
When your real response can now be detected,
When you start to get more introverted,
And they seem to be more extroverted.

Hold firm, be strong, and don't stop smiling.
Remind yourself each day, that 'I can hold on'.
Understand that it happens all the time.
Realize that things always turn ugly.
