"Smile though your heart is breaking."
Why is it that is so hard to do,
No matter how hard you try, old pains keep flying through,
And it's hard to put on a facade, and hide your pain,
When deep down you are begging for things to stay the same,
It's that time in your life when you just want to cry,
Break down, shed a few tears, just lay down and die,
And it's those times in our lives when we are asked the impossible,
To just smile through it all, make everything possible.
Why is it when the pain comes a-calling,
We know what it's like to feel like we're falling
Faster and Faster and Faster towards the end,
And it's strange, but in this spot, it seems you have no friends.
But those of us, who have tried this serious undertaking,
We know that it's impossible, to "smile though your heart is breaking."

I am sure that you have heard the old saying,
"Smile though your heart is breaking."
Why is it that is so hard to do,
No matter how hard you try, old pains keep flying through,
And it's hard to put on a facade, and hide your pain,
When deep down you are begging for things to stay the same,
It's that time in your life when you just want to cry,
Break down, shed a few tears, just lay down and die,
And it's those times in our lives when we are asked the impossible,
To just smile through it all, make everything possible.
Why is it when the pain comes a-calling,
We know what it's like to feel like we're falling
Faster and Faster and Faster towards the end,
And it's strange, but in this spot, it seems you have no friends.
But those of us, who have tried this serious undertaking,
We know that it's impossible, to "smile though your heart is breaking."

Yep, it's hard. Maybe even impossible. But if you're lucky, there'll always be somebody there to make you smile... or at least make it hurt a little less.

Honest, emotional write...awesome job!

Lovely poem ginsdance ... I've always thought it was better to "cry when your heart is breaking" - gets some of the feelings out instead of bottling it up ... :))))

I hope your heart mends soon .... nice poem.

good poem, but it's definitely not impossible. Life is life.. ***** is gonna happen that is gonna ***** with your head, but that's the key thing.. its YOUR head and you decide what goes on.. if you can't smile that has nothing to do with a saying or an incredible amount of pain.. anything can be looked at in a positive aspect if you are willing to look at it that way.. so a smile is really not to far away.. you can make it happen. Needless to say, the poem is good.
