Valsa George Poet Rhyme

Deception- Chanso

Within her sensitive heart, a storm brewed.
No one could see her inner agony,
Even when her mind to suffering glued.

Beneath the calm and serene appearance,
In her mind's cavern dwelt a silent grief,
And none could find in her a discordance.

She did not complain or show any guile.
Persevered not to make her pain outward.
Always faced the people with a sweet smile.
.
Instant joy and cheer she could ever feign.
Even in her life's most trying moments,
A calm equipoise, she tried to maintain.

She purposely put on this deception,
Not to make her ailing parents troubled,
While her heart was bleeding in dejection.

Such double life was so hard to endure.
How long she could do this, she was not sure.

Joanna Daniel May 16, 2023 at 8:10 AM Sounds like me, Valsa, maybe:) well written:)

Sotto Poet May 13, 2023 at 7:54 AM She seemed both composed and concerned. She was able to fake the brightest, most genuine smile and enthusiasm in an instant. You did a great job at portraying her, Valsa, even in the worst times of her life.

I Am Anaya May 10, 2023 at 7:49 PM She could be a Saint, a diagnosis composed to suit what life threw at her, such discipline should be rewarded. Valsa b0l in the contest!

Andrea Dietrich May 10, 2023 at 12:58 PM well done, Valsa. I did one of these, not posted yet. It's a pretty hard form to do!!

Janice Canerdy May 10, 2023 at 6:51 AM The best masks will eventually crack! Valsa, this is a very moving, expressive piece. Janice

Victor Buhagiar May 10, 2023 at 1:04 AM There are people who are always sad, like me. Since I live alone, I have nothing to hide.

Stephan McBride May 9, 2023 at 12:11 PM Love your wording and description in details in your poems, sadly this is for many people troubled these days and don't know where to go to find relief Valsa George May 9, 2023 at 8:34 PM This is the mental scanario of many. From outward appearance, we can never judge people. Thanks a lot Stephan!
