heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
Isolation Over Intimacy
Choose solitude I never have to Concern myself with others I persistently Evade connections I fail to see why others Invest so deeply I truly do What is best for me Companionship always brings Needless suffering I can't even imagine -inverse- I can't even imagine Needless suffering Companionship always brings What is best for me I truly do Invest so deeply I fail to see why others Evade connections I persistently Concern myself with others I never have to Choose solitude

Smiles Veiling Sorrows
Behind the brightest smiles, unseen, lies pain, A silent storm within, a heavy chain. With every laugh, a whispered cry, Concealing depths where shadows lie. The world may see the joy that gleams, Yet underneath, it's not as it seems. For every grin that graces the face, There's a story hidden, a darker space. Beneath the mask of happiness worn, Lies the ache of hearts that's torn. Each smile a shield, each chuckle a guise, Hiding the tears in sorrow's guise. But oh, the strength in that fragile smile, A beacon of hope, even in trial. For despite the pain that it may hide, It radiates courage, deep inside. So let us cherish those smiles so bright, For they may harbor battles fought in the night. And with compassion's touch, may we lend an ear, To the pain behind the smiles so dear.
