The title matches perfectly with the poem. By acting, she cloaks her pain with false smiles... Very sad and beautiful.
In the first stanza, the words are so simple, yet that is all we do to deceive other people that we are okay. "Smiles", "giggles", these reflect reality so much that I really feel the pity and sadness behind the poem.
What makes the poem really stand out is that the hope in the future. She will recover from her pain, and get a new life. I felt that strong message to every part of my body.
Very well-written, thank you for posting it! :)

Thanks for your insightful review. Highly appreciate it.
Very well expressed! Simple, yet full of emotion and meaning.
It very well describes the character of the women and the 'Cloak' title is appropriate in emphasis of the way she is currently feeling.

Thanks for your insightful review. Highly appreciate it.
The thing I like most about this poem is that it isn't just about suffering, but about the hope that one day she WILL be better and that the heartbreak won't last forever.

Thanks for your insightful review. I appreciate it.
I like how hopeful this piece is, it reminds me of myself. To have known that there will be a time, that I will walk in the path of light, and not all darkness that I see from time to time. It is simply beautiful. I remember a quote my friend told me: "SOMEONE WHO ALWAYS SHOWS THEIR HAPPY SIDE TO PEOPLE IS THE MOST LONELIEST". and He is right on that. very nice work!

Thanks for your time and for your inspiring comments. I really appreciate it.
The Magic Faraway Tree has been my favourite book and I remember how I missed school for a day to be truly immersed in the imaginary world that Enid Blyton had beautifully created.
