A Concealed Smile

A concealed smile,

Hidden by the sea of pain,

So vulnerable, so fragile

There will be scars on your soul,

On your skin.

Some will be outside,

Some lies within.

But don’t give up,

For your smile to emerge,

From the ground so low.

For your face to radiate,

The calmness,

The cuteness,

Which is lost in your torment.

Linger with your hope

In this timeless quiescence,

Don’t put a mask

To avoid your reflection

Drop down your cloaked face

Just be in yourself.

Hide the key to your soul,

Don’t let anyone break off this wall.

Stay within this tomb of yourself,

Dream of your dreams,

Find your happiness,

Hidden in your scars.
