Some walk in the rain
so no one
will see their tears

I smile at you
so you won’t see
my empty eyes

I sing out loud
so you won’t hear
my soul breaking scream

I dance in the street
so you won’t feel
my shaking sobs

Some walk in the rain
I smile, sing, and dance with you
so you won’t notice

I’m dying inside

I love this poem! It's short but sweet. Your words can draw a picture that I can clearly see. That's one thing that a good poet must be abled to execute.
