Stoic

She swallowed insults with a smile.
He endured injuries with a smile.
She embraced despair with a smile.
He encountered sorrow with a smile.
She faced separation with a smile.
He bore troubles with a smile.
She welcomed hopelessness with a smile.
He adopted loneliness with a smile.
She accepted failure with a smile.
He will meet death with a smile.
Today they smile,
Not because they are happy.
It is because they forgot
How to cry.

    That is the most depressing thing I have read in a while. :(

    If you forgot how to cry you can just frown and chop some onions.

    Go Vaa!
    Umm..., sorry, go Vaa 2.0! ;-).

    I don't see why this is depressing. Only way I see it so is if you feel bad that you aren't as impervious to unhappiness (which regrettably I ain't).

    I like it.
    I guess you're spending too much time with me. Apparently, misery is contagious. :D

    @Banshee,
    It was meant to be. Thank God, I got the mood right.

    @Whitelighter,
    I am sorry. But I recommend last year's Saarang SFM entry called HOMELAND, starring Kavitha. I am sure you won't feel depressed for the next 3 millenia.

    @Kogi,
    I don't like onions. Maybe you could teach.

    @Dadi,
    Thanks. And I thought you knew that I did not like onions.

    @Slinky,
    Sigh. You are a true member of the Bulbers' Society. Anyway, happy to hear that you are happy and read it in a different way.

    @Sooper,
    Would you gift me a bear hug? That is what I need at the moment.

    @Ammu,
    Yeah. But I think I knew this was coming. It was long due. Don't worry, you are not guilty. I still love you.
