A Smiling Tear



People pass by with a smile
Seem to mock at me
I smile back and I am crying

Amidst the crowd, cracking jokes
Seem to laugh at me
I laugh with them and I am crying

There is song and frolic
Seem to make fun of me
I sing and I am crying

"Come, join the musical chair"
Seem to challenge me
I hop in and I am crying

Roses all pink with blushes
Seem to taunt me
I blush and I am crying

"Hoopla around" cries the child
Seem to provoke me
I hoopla and I am crying

"All fine dear?" they ask
Seem to scare me
I am fine and I am crying

I smile, I laugh, I sing, I hop, I blush,
Seems I am fine but why am I crying?

I smile, I laugh, I sing, I hop, I blush,
No one can see that I am crying.



PS : This is a work of fiction.

  12. Gayathri,

    These lines are by a lady who is sad for some reason and no one understands her sadness. She puts up a smile and seems to be having fun, in reality she is sad.

    Thanks, glad you liked Insignia's insignia :-) I will retain it henceforth so that few others wouldnt doubt about the originality about my works :-)
