Weight of A Smile.

By Ramyaa Shukla

She was running through fields, walking many miles, crossing the bridges, sitting silently by a river line.

She was surrounded by many peoples yet feeling so lonely,

gazing up at the sky and feeling her heart about

to break,so she put on a smile, so bright but so fake. Soon the rain and her tears began to fall, reflecting the weight they carried after all.

A sad smile hides a world of pain behind a thin disguise, silent scream that echoes through the eyes.

But even in their sorrow, there's a glimmer of hope,a reminder that we are stronger than we know, and we can cope.

So let your sad smile be a shining light, a symbol of strength, of courage and of might
