"On that day, my smile shone brightly.
Yet why do nights grow darker?
It weighed me down, spiraling deeper and deeper.
The words they echoed seemed too facile for me to accept.
Soon, you might hear more about it.
I've absorbed tales unheard.
hidden in plain sight, While the world alters,
I remain tethered to my essence,
and I envision the path I tread.
I lingered in that place for the very first time.
yet you'll only understand by stepping into my shoes.
You'll never fathom my tangled narrative.
As each sees what suits their perception,
It's simpler to judge than to trust.
You're unaware of my sacrifices.
Confronting fears, embracing destiny
this defines who I am now.

People are always so quick to judge when they know absolutely nothing about us. Loved your poem!
How incredibly right you are. Unless people walk in my shoes, they have no idea what creates my personality on a day-to-day basis. Am I brooding? Happy? In between? I am all of it - depending on what I'm facing that day. Love your writing. It's so every-day-life accurate.
