Smile

A smile hides the broken one's declaration
Behind it lie the pieces of a vessel shattered by misery
The suffering fails to cease
Despite the broken one's decree

It is a lie to others as reality settles in
This life will never be of stability
And though the blade is silenced
A slice of serenity is forever out of reach

It disguises the vessel as a beacon of hope
Through the darkness that beckons near
But as the dim light drains
All that's left inside is pain

Smiles can mask deep pain. Your lines reminded me of that. Beautifully conveyed emotion. A poignant and heartfelt read.

This poem is very explained and loveful . "Though the darkness that beckons near" For some crazy reason that line made me love the poem even more ;)

Really, Really enjoyed reading this piece of art/poem :)
