A Look-357 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK -357

Your Smile

You smile—
Even when up against a million odds.

You smile in the abyss,
Only to see others smile.
You smile soley to bring cheer
To a thousand gloomy faces,
Even when you're drowning
In pain and distress.

You are different—
Different is the way you smile,
And the way you deal
With yourself and others.

None can match you.
You are a queen
In the desert of sorrow and darkness,
Just as you are a queen
In the heaven of joy and happiness.

None else—
Yes, none else—
Only you
Express yourself.
