it’s sad to say
that nowadays
a smile
is more often
used
to hide depression
rather than
express
happiness.

In your dreams
you're a different person
could it be this-
that you prefer that version?

As I reminisce the Past
     I asked myself!
Was it all worth it?

I did my best,
achieved what we thought
we would never reach

Im sorry also
Dreams Cost allot
We lost
Our Smile and Our laughs

I learned , our past doesn't Define our Present nor Our present defines our past.

But we both knows there are still
"Better Days to Come"

I tell myself lies
To protect my ego
Twist what I know
Ignore the bruise on my pride
I tell myself lies
You enjoy my poetry
You feel very flattered by me
You may not care to see
Or even know me
But I tell myself lies
I pretend to believe
