Behind The Smile Poem by Happiness Edeh

Behind The Smile

Rating: 5.0


Behind the smile...
Agony thrails
Streams of tears
Eye lids flood

Behind the smile...
Biting pains
Itchy hurt abides
Slow death occur
Disgust and disdain obtain

Behind the smile...
Oppressive burden heap
The fights, the struggles
Of blame not to take

Behind the smile...
Are broken bones
Trapped in flesh
For healing,
each passing day beg

The gasp for breath and
Cry for help, non heard
This smile is just a mirage
Who'll recognise the pain?
Behind the smile?

Overcoming pain boldly with smiles. It takes a caring person to see beyond the smile. Beautiful. Please kindly check my poems HOPE and THE BEAUTY OF DEATH and leave your comments.
