Are You Fronting?

I can tell an authentic smile from unhappiness fronting as one.

I don't mean that in a cocky way. I don't know 'why' I can, but I can. I might not always come out and say something, maybe it's not the time or the place. However, you can be sure that whether I say something or not, I see it.

I can't really explain 'how' I do it. I guess it's something with the eyes.....I can actually see joy or sadness in them. I think it's something with the body language too...sometimes, it's like they glow (not literally) when they're joyful....I can even see it from a picture. Then, there's also just a sense.....I can sort of 'feel' their sadness or their joy.

It pulls at my heart when I see the sadness behind the smile. I feel sad that they feel the need to hide it, or maybe they don't realize it.....I can relate to both. Maybe, that's what hurts my heart the most.

I wish I could help people who don't have that joy.
I can't....but I know Who can. ;)
So, I just pray.
