I may smile <br />But you haven’t known my pain <br />My successes seem grand <br />Taking me places that I could have never planned <br />Frost’s path has indeed made all the difference for me as well <br />Proud and tall I stand <br />Nevertheless my pain has been much grander <br />Covered it as well as I could <br />Wailing in the dark; alone and lonely <br />Wails falling on deaf ears <br />Purposefully I allowed them to fall <br />My soul needed to heal <br />My heart knew this and listened to its cries <br />Sitting here now reminiscing with a healed soul <br />And a grateful heart <br />Sighing… <br />Reflecting on past pains <br />Smiling in awe for the girl in me who made it through- <br />Especially taking into account that she took the path less traveled <br />And that made all the difference<br /><br />chanda panda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smiling-through-the-pain/
