I Am Smiling Poem by faith pfumbidza

You might have hurt me
not once but many times
You might hate me now
more than anything in this life
You might curse me
and wish me dead
But i am smiling now

You might have made me cry
and hurt me so bad
You might have pained me so
and broken my bones and heart
but still i am smiling

I used to cry each time i looked in the mirror
and see the scars
the results of your brutality
I used to cry each time i thought about you
but now i dont
i cry no more
i smile and thank God
who once united us
I smile at life
coz i know you have made me a different person
you have made me a strong woman
and i am all that i am because of you
I smile at what i am
I smile at what i have been through
I smile and will forever continue smiling
