Behind the Smile

When life hits you hard,
Breaks your heart into shards,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

When things are hopeless
And you are clueless,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

When the odds do not favour,
You persist with fervour,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

When you have the courage,
To rise against the discourage,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

You know you're vincible,
But giving up is impossible,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

You fear because you're wise,
You hide it in disguise,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

When you're truly scared,
But persist facing the feared,
At that moment,
Keep Smiling.

The smile you put shall hide,
All the pain on the inside,
But it is needed to move onward,
The needed courage to go forward.

Though the smile is fake,
It keeps the hope awake.
It's easy to smile when nothing is at a loss,
Can you smile when everything is at a loss?

I can smile despite having nothing,
I learnt to smile, losing everything.
That surprises people,
And it amazes me too.
