The legacy you leave is the one you live


Sometimes, it's fine to fake a smile to dry a tear;
But never fake a tear,
For it may last in perpetual.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Oh, wow. I love this. It's amazing. Though, it's short, it's still powerful and descriptive. It does make one who reads your poem, thinking. Your poem is wonderful. I hope you know that you have a talent and greatness in you. Thank you for sharing this!

I really enjoyed this poem. Sometimes I expect poems to be longer because they cannot fufill the emotional power your can in such a smaller form. I can connect to this as well, and I enjoy your work. Please continue to write and use more of your talent.

I loved this poem. You seem to have a nack for the short poems. They all get the point across and are not in need of a single extra syllable. And this poem is so true, and relatable as well. Never stop writing
