SMILES

I have wished troubles would just vanish 

into the thin air

That not even for once, would we bend our heads

carry our whole faces with their moody expressions and sob bitterly to be ground

Yet I have realized that it's only a walk in these shades of suffering 

can the soul be strengthened

It's only a sip of hardship tossed in the air

can one comprehend life and run the race better 

When the world throws stones at you, 

build mighty walls

Mournings come but do not last

just as the fleeting lives of mayflies

Take a pause

Steady the nerves, Joy is coming

Running off to your feet

Embrace it with those thousand rose-scented 

smiles you've concealed for ages.
