And yet, I smile

Chaos causes creativity

And yet, I smile

Don't take me wrong

I'm not happy inside.

Broken, to see my dear ones

bending beneath the wrath of life

as they dismiss all their bonds.

And yet, I smile

not to bring fake hope

but rather a light

when the end comes by a rope.

And yet, I smile

You may call me weak, dear friend,

I shall be, I don't decline!

If there's room for a defense,

not being a burden of sorrow,

will be my choice of reference.

And yet, I smile

Like a Lotus in a swamp

where rests the void of beauty

I dare to hope that I can be a symbol,

whereas the environment shall be dirty.

And yet, I smile

as my soul deprives me of sanity,

I find the eternal bliss,

in providing joy to those who matter,

with kindness, caring or even a kiss.

reminds me of Smoky and the MIracles...

"take a good look at my face. you'll see my smile looks out of place, if you look closer it's easy to trace, the tracks of my tears."
