Borrowed Laughter

You always see me smile
	As if, I’m not traveling in a ghastly mile,
	As if, I don’t have problems in a file
	If you only knew that, this is just guile.



	You always see me relax
	As if, I don’t care with the death’s package box,
	As if  I’m not scared with the God o death—and the axe.
	If you only knew, I am wearing the mask of fox.



	You always see me happy
	As if, I don’t feel any misery,
	As if I don’t know any agony
	If you only knew, my heart and soul are not that healthy.



	You don’t see me explode in anger
	Not even, hear that I experience hunger,
	If you only knew, my dear
	All I have is a borrowed laughter.

Hi Jinque - powerful poem you have here. 'Borrowed laughter' - the title meshes well with the theme. It's easy to think all is fine when we see people laugh - this reminds us to look beyond the laughter. Very well written. I would like to extend my hand in welcome to the PoetrySoup community. There’s a lot to learn from each other here and hopefully you will have a great time while at it. Feel free to drop me a line when you can. I am looking forward to reading more from you. Vicky.
