This Is Me. Poem by Arfa Iris

This Is Me.



To make others smile
i hide tears in my eye.

for the sake of others
i hide my wounds under covers.

i stop my work and
help others when i can.

in sharing pain i find relief
but never show my own grief.

when others use words harsh and slang
with smile i accept their damn.

on me they never pay heed
but search when they are in need.

i don't care if i m treated ill and bad
i will always be there in their times bad.

I like these amazing lines and felt shivered, quivered, petrified, discombobulated by this poem and these poetic lines, 'To make others smile i hide tears in my eye. for the sake of others i hide my wounds under covers' Lo! Listen! I became sentimental like plant mimosa... A very kind poem arousing pity in me and everyone who travel through these lines. You covered my things in your poem but you forgot to cover your heart and soul.. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Arfa, we sharing same mind and same experience maybe...it's hard to see other fall but easier sacrifice ourself for others...because of that i feel so much stronger, how to endure all by myself and i feel i am good and happy for everything i have now...i guess you also the same, we dont feel bitter so much we can make it sweet as we want...feel like we are strong enough in our own way...anyway this is very good poetry..like it so much! _Unwritten Soul
