This is life

This is life

A Poem by Fariha Tahseen Karim
"

I felt the glass is half empty and now its time to fill it up

"
Tears are never fake 
They always comes out for someone's sake
Smiles are really rare
It appears when everything is fare
Sadness can sometimes be hidden
But crying should never be forbidden

Forcing laughter can be easy
But how can you hush your heart and keep it busy
Thoughts can be stopped by saying "No more!"
Memories breaks all the door
Pain can be concealed
But scar can not be healed

Trying to sleep while your heart tries to blow 
That is the toughest thing I know
Life is not a popularity test
So don't pretend, just do your best
You don't need to look perfect all the time
You think you have no talent? close your eyes and try to write a rhyme

You make mistakes for learning
Keep the pictures of your mistakes, no use of burning
Time cannot be stopped by not looking at the clock
If you have a coveted goal, I promise there will be no block
After every storm comes a rainbow, dear
You don't know how many days you will be alive, so don't keep any fear

I really love this piece.
The only thing that turns me away from any piece is grammar. I'm not one of those grammar nuts, but if it affects the reading, then it, for a lack of a better word, bothers me. Most of it was subject-verb agreement, just keep an eye out for it!

This is one of your best Scarlet. Choice of words is good, and it is expressing a lot than what's actually written.

To not keep any fear is something I need to figure out. You have given me or us much to ponder in here. I also want to think of any time one should not cry. I always thought crying was good, but why is there mystique about people not crying, when a person thinks they need to hide something for some reason, or is it self control, I need to be waiting and watching in life to figure it out

I wrote 'crying should never be forbidden' and I mean to say crying is a good thing. It unloads a lo.. read more
Beautiful message, form and rhyme... My only critique might be that... Some lines could be more concise...

This is great! I think in one line you meant to say Memories Break all the doors.

Pain can be concealed, scars cannot be healed. Good stuff!!

If a glass is half full and half empty, I see it as half empty because I know I have the ability to fill it up. Just like fire is hungry for woods, I am also famished and want to consume more and more.. more..
