Mysterious Smile

no one saw her invisible pain
wrapped in her mysterious smile,
no one listened to her silence
in the crowd with deaf ears,
no one cared about her story
that she whispered,   
no one imagined her drowning
in the tides of depression,
	though she died struggling in 
	deep sea waters, but she suffered
	in life even before she drowned,
	now she no more holds sorrows 
	inside her broken heart,  
	she walks freely in the invisible
	world as all her sufferings settled 
	underneath the deep sea, leaving a mystery.

# I put the two pictures together, at the beginning I wrote about the last picture 'she was drowning but nobody saw her struggle'. I used drowning in two ways...drowning in depression and actually drowning in the sea and then I concluded with the second picture 'being invisible'....in the invisible world after death.

Hi Raina, I did enjoy the weave of your Invisible poem. "Drowning in the tides of depression" how that must resinate with a multitude of people. Regards, Craig
