i pretended i could fly but i was actually falling from the sky where limits are beyond my imagination even beyond my comprehension.
years after, i still fall for all of the truths i was told were lies camouflaging as reality bites tell me i was wrong for believing it after all.
i pretended i could smile but i was actually frowning in disguise for years and years i’ve dealt with life’s theatrics and dramatic stint.
years after, i still smile for all the events i should have cried maybe then it’s time to let go of flying and smiling ‘cos all i wanna do is fall harder and cry louder.

So powerful…so heart-touching, SweetMich! We can all relate to your words and emotions. ❤️
Sometimes, especially as women, wives, moms, teachers, etc., we need that break from all we do and give…we need a rest…we need to refuel…so we can set off flying and smiling once again.
Thank you for all you give to so many of us!!! 🙂 ❤️
