Smile Poem by Sugra malik

smile…

I smile because I am happy,

I smile because I am free,

I smile because I finally know what it is like to know me.

But I laugh…

...I laugh because it’s funny,

I laugh just for me,

I laugh just to see you smile back at me.

And I cry…

I cry for times not forgotten,

I cry to release the pain inside,

I cry to lift my sorrows up to the heavens in the night sky.

So I write…

I write to release the memories,

I write in search of me.

I write and give it as a gift for the whole world to see.

So smile with me when I am happy,

Laugh with me just for fun,

And cry with me until you see the sun.

But cherish my words forever,

Until this life is done.
