Look Beneath The Smiles Smile as if nothing is wrong Masking the hurting inside I shall wear my happy face The tears I can always hide For too long my heart ached It goes way beyond despair Most feelings are revealed Underneath the smile I wear Silence as been hard to bare Yet smiles disguise the pain So here is my little reminder You never see me complain Whilst smiling on the outside The inside was falling apart If you follow the flow of tears You will find my broken heart HopeĀ©2005 With graphic and music below www.thestarlitecafe.com/p...32003.html |

Hope This poem reminds me of the Pagliacci... Who, in the opera was advised "Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow, and with your clowns' face hide grief and distress... Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all of your troubles, Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart." I feel writing poems such as this helps in putting on a permanent smile...an honest one....Certainly Canio did not choose the right method of regaining happiness (revenge is never sweet, in the end) Exposition of feelings through poetry, I believe a better therapy and that your penning of this will help turn your fake smile into a real one. --------------ice/ford ><> |
