Smiles Always Return


She flies with her own wings
Smaller or bigger than others
It really doesn't matter to her
She has her own colorful dreams
Some unseen, maybe once told
But, it isn't up to those watching
She works through hours, then fun
Some things make her stand and watch
Some things make her take off and run
She loves deeply,  loss hurts just as deep
Many times picking herself up, fallen again
Patching up hurting parts, a body takes a toll
But smiles always find a way to return
Reflecting from.pools of tears to be seen
Light will always become the healing factor
   -  in a world that turns a pallet black -

I love how your poem celebrates the resilience and individuality of the protagonist, who is depicted as someone unburdened by societal expectations. The metaphor of flying with her own wings suggests a sense of independence and self-determination. The line, "Smaller or bigger than others, It really doesn't matter to her," conveys a powerful message of self-acceptance, emphasizing that the protagonist is not defined by external comparisons...
