I Try To Be

I try to be happy;
I try to be gay ;
even when things ;
don't go my way .

I try to smile;
It's not easy I know;
I try to laugh;
that the pain may not show.


But one heart that is inside;
can't be hidden long;
and the outlooker will know;
that something is surely wrong.


Even at such times;
when one going really tough;
though the path seems long ;
and very very rough.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
