God Knows

My laughs may say that I ain't got worries
And my every smile welcomes people my way,
But behind a laughter are thousands of untold stories.
Behind a smile are many words I wanna say.

One might call me numb, but just doesn't see my aching heart,
But others find me generous, trustworthy and even kind.
Stupid fools judge me and that's the most unfair in my part,
Nonetheless, I'm happy for good people are not nowhere to find.

Others make me feel I am wicked, I am worthless,
But that's alright, I don't feel so much bad,
Because I am strong, I am brave, I am dauntless
For I know I am worthy, that's what God said.

Maybe no one will ever know the concealed goodness in me.
Oh, how I wish I will be able to express my true self wholly.
Anyhow, somehow, I'm glad because someone up there knows how it's gonna be
And He'll set things for me surely and perfectly.

"My laughs may say that I ain't got worries And my every smile welcomes people my way, But behind a laughter are thousands of untold stories. Behind a smile are many words I wanna say." Beautiful poem, no one knows the inner workings of our minds, or the problems we have, but ourselves. Great stuff Karen!

This poem is full of hope and the mercy of God, really like the message behind it, you see that the people will never be satisfied with us, they are always gonna complain so the best thing to do is to avoid them, ignore them nd spend your life how you feel you should, do thigs that make you pleasef and don t care what the world say, the only one who you have to make pleased is God, and no one else, so spend your life happily and remember God, He only wants that

Karen, God loves us not because we deserve it, He loves us because He is lovable.
