THE PAIN BEHIND HER SMILE
<p><br/></p><p>She wears a smile upon her face,</p><p>Yet hides her tears in a secret place.</p><p>She laughs so loud, she seems so free,</p><p>But who knows the pain she bears silently?</p><p><br/></p><p>Her eyes tell stories her lips cannot say,</p><p>Of countless struggles she faces each day.</p><p>She comforts others when they feel low,</p><p>But where can she go when her own tears flow?</p><p><br/></p><p>They call her strong, they call her brave,</p><p>But they don't see the tears she saves.</p><p>They praise her smile, so warm and bright,</p><p>But never ask if she's alright.</p><p><br/></p><p>At night, she stares into the sky,</p><p>Whispering questions, wondering why.</p><p>She holds her pillow and closes her eyes,</p><p>Wishing someone could see through her disguise.</p><p><br/></p><p>Her heart is tired, her soul feels weak,</p><p>Yet she hides the words she longs to speak.</p><p>She says, "I'm fine," with a gentle smile,</p><p>While carrying burdens mile after mile.</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh, dear Zubaidah, your pain is real,</p><p>You don't have to hide the way you feel.</p><p>You need not smile when you want to cry,</p><p>Nor hide your sadness from every eye.</p><p><br/></p><p>One day, someone will understand,</p><p>And gently reach out to hold your hand.</p><p>They'll see your worth beyond your pain,</p><p>And help you find your smile again.</p><p><br/></p><p>For behind her smile, a story lies,</p><p>Of silent battles and unspoken cries.</p><p>But she's more than the pain she tries to conceal,</p><p>She's a heart that deserves to love, hope, and heal.</p><p><br/></p><p>MORAL LESSON: đź’•</p><p>Never judge someone's life by the smile they wear. Sometimes, the happiest-looking people are carrying burdens they don't know how to share. Be kind, be patient, and always remember to ask, "Are you really okay?"</p>
