Fabrication of a Smile

I have many dreams and nightmares but most that hits my heart is this A shadow that made my eyes happy was taken away from me and my brothers I finally understand why, the story that which stirs in my mind One that is true to its core, which would over whelm any one The shadows at first was gentle and kind, but all of a sudden ferocious The past is the past but I think at last My door to seeing these shadows are being open at last I breathe with such concern that it almost takes my soul away When through the emptiness comes a ray of hope Brothers ran to me and smiled to see me, but that all changed When kids around us started to disappear an occasion that was not clear I fear what was not there; I thought of no one else accept my brothers Not knowing why that they were gone so long, but came back In the orphanage that we were in, the government stood in I do not know the story but I can see what was happening My brothers and I stood quiet, sometimes force to smile The thing was they had to do something drastic like lock us up I know why I was so secluded when my brother’s was away They told me that they will come back so they made me play They took pictures of me and running with glee Because I was told that my brothers will come back to me As this was true the government knew, what they may do But my brother’s was sad because they were against it all along They did what they did to me; they locked us up away from others I was already use to it, but my brother’s was not but they were tempted Just like I, was told that we will go back to our family When few days came they let us out, took pictures of us with smile with doubt What is a fabrication of a smile, is a heart break inside, I could shout
