Lot More Behind The Smile Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Lot more behind the smile
Saturday,5th September 2020

It is a genuine smile
that forms our lifestyle
make the face dry and sullen
no one may come near even

if you can hide
your emotions and decide
that happiness
it is all that you want to show on the face

no emotion can remain
permanently hidden
it has to come out in open
else there shall be burst sudden

not all can do it often
if you have mastered an art even,
the face reveals a lot
when caught between fire and rage

what are you trying to justify?
and satisfy
the self-ego for own consumption
it is nothing but self-destruction

life has a lot more
to offer a smile here
make others feel happy
and show it visibly, too

Dr Jadia Hasmukh
