Crocodile Tears

I put a smile even my heart is on vile Dreading each step I made on each tile Spikes of bounty promises, curves of guile With you on top, an all around the bush lie Selfless service we forgo never denied You repaid nothing but your useless pride Hopes afire, spirit wanting to soar high Yet it seems everyday your deeds all a defy I greeted you with warm sweet hello Similar to white angels with golden halo Yet you dismissed and discharged so cold I wish I still can hold... strongly behold Of dreams unforgotten 'til dawns of tomorrow Didn't barrow, bravely wandering like a sparrow Bearing all thorns and cross, I absolutely follow Is Tunnel of success on six feet under hallow?

It is sad that for some success is only achieved by being the devil. A succes connected with the halo is a lasting and meaningful succes.

Some people manage to put on a brave face, even when they have been hurt or let down (especially by those who are egoistic and fail to notice the good qualities of those around them). // powerfully expressed thoughts. // paul

Weeee yes Paul.. It's so stressful that you need to put a smile and maintain all is well when inside you're already boiling..
