Painfully Beautiful

When you look at me,
A smile is all you see.

A genuine smile,
And a kind heart underneath.

But When you look at me, and the smile is all you see,
Question yourself about what is really underneath.

The pain is there, it comes and goes,
Almost like the wind when it starts to blow.

The hurricane is coming, I don’t know when.
All I have felt so far are small storms and wind.

The time is coming and it will not be long,
Just a gut feeling that is so so strong.

The pain is so strong you could not understand,
But with God’s grace, I WILL STAND.

The painfully beautiful smile that you see,
Will always be,


Just ME.
