Oh wow I love your rhyming... And your starting lines were beautiful...
I guess many many people, I believe mostly girls, live this routine and it must be so heart breaking. Faking smiles and forcing laughter is really hard although it seems easy.
This was a really touching and sad poem.
It is a horrible life when one falls asleep and wakes up crying but still has to pretend that everything is normal and fine.
I loved the entire poem but truly, I loved this line the most:
'And wipe away the tears before they become a stream'
I also loved the title of this poem.. According to me there could have been no better title to it. :-)
When you think less you ought to forget the pain faster. Someone has rightfully said:
The key to happiness is bad memory.
If you are going through all this, I'm sorry. Things will get better soon. :-)
