#WritcoPoemChallenge
The smile on my face is real,
It bears witness to how I feel...
I can bear pain as long as it has meaning
I battle to smile even in pain
Vowing not to waste my days without a smile
Is hard!
Is tougher!
Trying hard to grow by reflection
I beam to reflect my braveness today as compared to yesterday
I dare to smile gracefully when my dawn to see the day comes through
I smile to hide tears
I laugh to hide tears
I smile to hide pain
I laugh to hide pain
Smiling to get away from trouble
Is never easy!
Only Yahweh understands!
Sometimes I try to fool the crowd with smiles but the pain never fades off
But wait!
Just a second !
I doubt if my smiles are actually real but I know...
I'm confuse...
I'm confuse...
Smiling during the day but crying in shadows
Hurting and crying in the dark
Yet my smiles show invisible depression, agony and ordeal
Yes!
Beams make my agony invisible
I smile but the tears I shed in my heart cannot be explained
Only Yahweh understands!
The only words I can leave here are,
"My smile is everything you might never understand ."
