My True Smile

I've hid behind my facade of nonchalance for far too long
the ideal that "I'm fine" and nothing is wrong
but now I've realized hiding is just a ploy
a hoax to get me to crash
So in the face of this adversity I carry on

And as I fall I still stand strong
getting up from the ground I wipe away my blood
and even though there is pain I'll still stand strong
In this spirit I won't break
Because I stand tall in my battle

Even though sometimes I crack under the pressure
sweating the bullets that wiz by
I'll never give into my demons
for they have already consumed enough of me
but they won't and can't take my heart

For my heart and soul are strong
Their strength reinforced by my armor
clad in its' steel it takes the brunt of my pain
and by saving my heart it lifts my soul up high
So here is to my armor, the light of my life

And as my light gets stronger I surely stand taller
less relying on my armor and more on my true self
with this newfound strength I've built
there is one thing that has finally come true
That without you I'd still be in my corner;
just smiling and saying,"I'm fine."

welcome to Passions! I enjoyed this poem. It has an upbeat mood to it...regardless of anyone not being there, you'll still be you, no matter. I'm in that position in a way myself.

Hope to read more of you.
