I Live

I smile, yet I wince behind the smile.
I laugh, whilst I weep deeply in my soul.
I cheer, as I wail silently.
I sing, when my heart howls in anguish.
I dance, but my legs buckle in despair inside me.
I giggle, as I swallow a tear.
I sigh in peace,
But the lump in my throat threatens to burst in tears.
A constant battle rages on.
Yet somehow, it is well.
So, I LIVE.
