PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I try to laugh.

I try to smile,

and maybe be happy,

just for a little while.

~

But minute by minute,

my smile disappears.

Erasing each trace of it,

by the flood of my tears.

~

I try to hang on,

to what happiness I have.

But how can you do it,

when it’s something you’ve never had?

~

True happiness is felt within,

not just seen with your eyes.

Cause a plastic smile may be seen,

while the inside still cries.
