Life's Truth
August 24, 2014
Laughing
when you're not happy.
Smiling
when nothing is good.
Trying
when there's no point.
Hoping
when there is no hope.
Dreaming
when nobody gets what they want.
Living
even when everything is lost.

In this poem of yours I like the message you send out. And writing is endeed a friend when everything else fails and it seems really tough because it gives us its own dimension and understands us because we produce something that is made by us , out of us!! Keep up!
"I wrote this during a tough time in my life. The only way to make it past hardships is to never give up."
