You see my smile but you fail to see my pain
you see my sunshine, but ignore the rain
my tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul
you hear me laugh, but fail to see me cry
you see my dance, but fail to see me fall
you see the mountains I have climbed, but fail to see the trenches I've had to crawl through
my tears flow like a waterfall
you only see my life, but fail to see I'm dying inside
tears flow
heart smokes from the fire burning my soul
You see my accomplishments, but never how hard it took me to get thre
you see the goals I've achieved, but never my failures
you see the shine in my eyes, but never the dark clouds over head
my tears flow, I am drowning
you see me, but never truly see me
tears flow
my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul

Lovely, powerful poem with excellent use of repetition. "my heart smokes from the fire burning my soul". Chef's kiss of a mantra and an ending. Well done, Tony! 🌹👏
Thank you
A poem that burns with feelings of not being known. Often we see only what we want in others and neglect the other things. We become a shadow of what we are. A most lovely write Toney a fave
Thank you
This is quite powerful.Certainly there is a sadness here but that's relationships.They always fail.Enjoyable read
Thank you
We all have hurt within us that we do not show to others Tony, may that hurt become less real in time.
