I like the first stanza. It sets up the mood of the audience that the piece is a melancholic admittance of once true feelings and emotions. There's a steep price to pay if we are too transparent in what we feel and what's going on inside of us unless we reveal them to the right person or someone that we can truly trust. Sometimes we are force to wear that pretentious smile or a facade of laughs. But sorrows has its own rightful place. To the indifferent people they will scold you for being too emotional as I have experience. Yet I wondered why such cold and callous response. God can handle anything even our deepest hurt express to Him with total abandonment and honesty. It is those who aren't ashamed to shed their tears are the one that truly open up to Him to be consoled and be healed of their deep wound and hurt .
It is wonderful!
"How many times I have to smile
just to hide these heartbreaking lies?"--------just can say I can almost relate with it.
True,to hide pain,, more casual we need to show!
Thanks for sharing
I love this poem. It speaks volumes to a message I myself have been hiding behind for years. "Beautiful tears come hide with me, just stay behind my loudest laugh" The best line I've read in months...Great job expressing yourself through poetry!

A beautiful poem dear Poet.
"Beautiful tears, come hide with me
just stay behind my loudest laugh
Just let them know my victory
A perfect beam in your behalf."
I believe when we cannot cry. We are dead in emotion. Tears mean we are alive. Always good to read your outstanding poetry dear friend.

I don't necessarily read hope in this poem...but perseverance and strength. I do like the line about the thousand words unspoken. Unspoken yes but present in the tears.
We have to keep on going...have to pick ourselves up and try again no matter what the world throws at us. Tears are cleansing and they do help us move forward, but we do not have to share them with the rest of the world....for surely very few will understand our emotions. Wonderful.....and the rhyming and rhythm in this one is splendid, Dh! Lydi**
Your piece reminded me of a quote which i wrote down in my little red book. It says, "Tears do not wash away your sorrows. They feed someone else's joy. That is why you must learn to swallow your own tears." Hiding our tears amid great pain is also a sign of strength.
i love this...just keep on truckin' no matter what...and like smokey robinson sang....inside we cry "the tears of a clown" as we wear the smile that hides the frown.
don't let them see you cry...don't let them know they have almost beaten you, because the reality is that you are only knocked down, not out.
this is poetic beauty at its best...I love the second stanza...
