To be an eccendentesiast
Long word for an action so simple, to hide your pain behind a smile.
People are too unaware to second-guess a smile.
It is ironic how many times people around me have asked "why are you always smiling"
Becoming so good at it,that even I fooled myself too.
Not surprised, if I can fool everyone, I could fool myself too right?
Im not saying it's a bulletproof plan
Sometimes the pain leaks out so much that I can't breath but for now ....
Ill smile the pain away until night
comes...one day I'll have to stop right?

Your poem doesn't adequately gloss the neologism "eccendentesiast". Behold, teeth! (ecce dentes)?
I agree, writing this I just wanted to touch small points in what a eccendentesiast is. Thought it is how you say it behold teeth they are someone who performs by showing their teeth(smiles). I didn’t want to get into the neologism of it. I wanted only how I use it in my personal life until when I can keep performing or acting. I am only a beginner.
One thing I like about MyPoeticSide is that I can annotate my poem without putting the annotation on the same page as the poem. - You could use that feature to annotate "eccendentesiast".

Many hide pain in many ways, smiling always seems to be the better way.
