Behind my smile

BEHIND MY SMILE

Behind my smile, resides my broken self.

I am filled with regrets and guilt,

My smile is a disguise,

For others to believe it.

Behind my smile, are tears hidden,

They successfully deceive others.

Behind my smile are the days I suffered,

Mourning and spending sleepless nights,

Thinking about how worse it has been,

Despite I am scattered and hurt so bad,

The best I can give others is my smile.

Sometimes we just hide our pain to show others that how strong we r.... The only thing we can do... A fake smile...

[Najam Us Saher]

"Behind your smile
I sense one thing in your eye
While you sit on the aisle
You can't help it but to cry
If you can't hold it anymore
Don't force smiling for awhile
You can knock me at my door
And let me be to make you smile"
...
hope you like it

That's just my reply to you poem, because it says you are scattered and hurt.

[Roch Ketchum]

Your poems do tell the readers to be strong even in the face of adversity. A simple nice poem is all we need.

[Najam Us Saher]

I am glad that you liked it. Thank you very much. It really means a lot :)

[Carol Cashes]

Astute "readers" of human nature are not fooled by smiles, especially those that do not reach the eyes. I enjoyed this little piece and continue to write all the things in your heart. Some will only have merit to you, but that's okay.

[Najam Us Saher]

That's true the ones who have suffered and can understand us truly only they cannot be fooled by our smile. Thank you so much for reading :)

[Hasventhran Baskaran]

[Abraham George]

yes now you are doing the right thing. Keep smiling even if you are crying inside. I understand the emotions that your are going through and everything will be alright very soon.

[Najam Us Saher]

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Funny really how anyone can stand by you when you're smiling but the ones who really stand by you in your tears are scarce...
Nice write.

[Najam Us Saher]

Yeah that's true. Thank you so much for reading. I appreciate it :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're welcome, Najam. A pleasure reading :)

[Abhishek Asthana]

That is the only tool we have just to defend ourselves from a questionnaire that would arise, if someone get to know about the reality...
