Behind the smile

Fifth phase- Recall

Since I was four

I always watch my parents' brawl

It became a chore

And all I heard were lies

Till it became a part of my life

Since I was nine

I was getting beaten all the time

Been threatened with a knife

My back full of scars

Was about to get hit by a car

I was good at studies thank god

But still, I was suffering a lot

I used to spend all the time at home

Had few friends yet felt alone

Wherever I go I get called by different names

Weird, mysterious, short, fat

Every day felt like the same day

I was the kind kid, lonely and sad

All I wanted was happiness and fun

Like any other kid but I was numb

I was enduring all this pain when I was young

Lies grew in me, I can't hold my tongue

Came into a messed-up generation yet I pay the price

Now life is treating me like a rolling dice

This is how I lived my childhood life

As I grew older,

I met a girl who amazed my eyes

Every day we were talking over and over,

Until she became the love of my life

Never believed that someone would love me

With all this care and affection

Despite all my flaws and imperfection

She loved me as I am with no judgmental

It's so rare to find people like this because they are so special

I had a special gem that brighten up my heart

If there was a place that I felt with no harm

It would be her warm arms

Every month we would celebrate our anniversaries

And remember the day where we started our journey

She was a guiding light

The light that brightens up my night

In hardships, always by my side

Our love was beyond the sky

Between the stars up high

We were having fun all the time

We shared too many memories

From singing our favorite songs on call

To taking funny selfies that fills our galleries

From holding hands in malls

To cooking our favorite food

Even the little moments were a whole

All-day we vibe with good and funny mood
