Smile

Tony36

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! 🌹👏
