Sweet is the smile that cools the heart
it leaves pressure floating further behind.
Exude your confidence and fight the heat,
Keep hate from taking over your mind.
Or you will be damaged beyond repair,
Ruined by all the flashback moments it fills.
The feelings you share can be a nightmare,
If you make your life live by comfortable lies.
Despite the aches and how hot the fire gets,
Don’t let it bring you down in flames,
If the sparks diminish you with smoke threats,
You can cover the scars and amend the pains.
Eventually, the intensity of frustration will fall
Wipe out the irritant tears from your eyes.
Don’t let the heat of anger build a separate wall,
Joy shall replace your sorrow and heartaches.
Rainy days may put the frosty smile on icy fire
And passion for a moment will have the edge.
But those flames will only burn the bridge
And bring sparks in the air to view from afar.

'Exude your confidence and fight the heat,
Keep hate from taking over your mind.'
these lines, acutely framed
my state of mind, for the past few years
with all the abundant nihilism, that surrounds
if not for patience, how else can we hope
to survive and find a better horizon
to aspire towards..
a profound write, dear poet
thanks for sharing
