This is life

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

A good try with the flow and the rhythm! I loved the way you said to look through ourselves and find what we are good at. After every point of sadness there's happiness. Your outlook on life is poritive.
Everything happens for a reason. Even mistakes. We learn and try to do it better next time. Life's just a game played with sharp minds. Ahahaha this rhymed xD Would be a part in my next poem :p
Well a great job again :)

This is a very happy way of looking at things, or outlook, not the rose-colored glasses of middle age, but the capriciousness of a youthful visage, I don't know what tears we have yet in our souls, nor what expressions, why keep fear as a pet? We must let our spirits soar through a bit of sword play, crossing the swords, these feathers of what can be rhyme or reason or meter, of these various things

wee-said. thanks a lot

and a lovely picture scarlet azalea, I hope you are accomplishing some quality of help to the spirit or much finesse in your creative private details, to write about private life is private certainly and it is often better to write in this way and ways of the narrative instead of journaling which can be difficult to find the right audience for, I have a feeling you know who you want your audience to be

not really. I write for everyone no specifications :)

Great piece, Personally i am more fond of rhyming poems and the rhyming in this piece is excellent. It is able to hold up throughout its entirety even with the occasional change in length of stanzas which can sometimes disrupt the connection between lines. Great job on the pairings of the stanzas in the first half of the poem. My personal favorite would have to be " Time cannot be stopped by not looking at the clock " this line in my opinion is exceptional both in terms of the message itself and the way the author chose to express it. though it does not have a very prominent impact on the piece i do feel some of the lines could need a little trimming like "You think you have no talent? close your eyes and try to write a rhyme " would connect better with the previous line if it was a wee bit shorter say "Smile, close your eyes and try to write a rhyme " but that's just me since i a bit over the top when it comes to symmetry sometimes. Overall pretty solid work Kudos to you.

It's difficult in life to have no fears. When you are a child, a adolescent or a grown up person you always have some fears. Fear for disease, fear for bad luck, fear for death. Live every day as it was your last one. Maybe that's the solution, to enjoy what you have. Very well done.

thank you so much
