On the skywalk

I saw
Two men greet
Each other with smiles
On the crosswalk

I saw
A young man and young woman
Holding hands
On the sidewalk

I saw
An old man
Cradling a baby girl
On the boardwalk

I broke
From my pause
On the skywalk
It's that latent complacency
the wait and see could
that be me minus the anxiety
that I have to overcome.

If the sun doesn't shine now
I know that one day it will.

We're all fighting a demon
all thinking we're a He-Man
and most of the time the truth of it
is somewhere in between the lines
and so we submerge into them
or
emerge out of them as better men.

Day bows down, when it arrives.
It goes down, when day arrives.

Neither you can change it,
Nor can I,
But all to do with it,
Is just to see with your eye.

It's real face is neither the darkness,
Nor the light.

Just things to see,
As it is The Night.

90 degrees today
Crazy mood & happy
Ready to test out my brand new Audi
Down this bumpy road

The best time's right now
German made quality car
Aircon & tunes are on
You smile & we are complete.

SMILE

She smiled to hide the sorrow behind her eyes
The tears that never got to roll down her pale chubby cheeks, if they ever did she said they were tears of joy
The truth behind them, hidden
Like a predator in camouflage

It was easy to find
That her smile was just a cover
That hid all her wounds
But none dared to look more into it
None cared for they all fell for her silly act
The smile that hid her pain

The smile that hid her agony
Behind it she hid herself
Now when all the pain is gone
Her face no more twitches to smile
Unable to share her joy and happiness
Unable to hear the sound of her laughter

She goes back to being sad all over again.
Firstly I know it's very long. The tittle itself is smile but the poem is really sad. Trust me I wanted to write something happy but couldn't. Let me know what u guys think about it.
