This is a poem I wrote like a month ago……Please let me know what you think 
Beneath The Surface
By: Reem Ahmed
We all feel weak at times, no one is forever strong,
Sometimes you think you’re invincible, but this doesn’t last for long.
Everyone has a reason for who they are, a story no-one knows,
Well, this life is full of secrets, that’s just how it goes.
You think someone is lucky but you don’t know how much they’ve lost,
Yeah, they may seem to have everything, but what’s the cost?
So, don’t go judging someone by the way they appear,
Coz behind every smile & laugh there may be a hidden tear.
No one said life is easy, just like we lived in heaven, there’s hell,
Nobody’s an angel, & guess what? You’re not one as well.
So why search for other’s flaws when you already have your own?
Mind your own life, your own problems & just leave people alone!!
And before you go pointing out fingers, make sure your hands are clean,
Don’t judge a life you’ve never lived or judge sth you haven’t seen.
If you look beneath the surface, you’ll see a broken smile, eyes full of pain,
A loss of someone dear, a goodbye that needed too much strain.
In Every heart, there’s that hidden scar that never seems to heal,
and behind all these lies we tell, is the truth about what we feel.
You can’t really tell whether someone’s smile is fake or true,
Are they happy? Or just trying to cover the pain they’re going through?
There’s always that someone you misunderstood, that line you misread,
At times you didn’t notice someone’s pain, all the tears they’ve shed.
So, don’t act like you know it all, like you never lose in the game,
It was your own mistakes that made you the person you became.
You can’t tell if a book is good by its cover or by the title it has.
& neither can you judge someone by his past or what he was.
Everyone has the power to decide which road they should take,
Coz you can’t learn anything new if you never make mistakes.
You only know what you see & not all the secrets that people kept,
Sometimes our lives fall down & there are no other choices left.
If you don’t know what they’ve been through, you can’t judge what they’ve done,
Well, you didn’t see how hard it was to bear that pain, what it took them to carry on.
Life doesn’t come with instructions, plans aren’t easily aligned.
Whatever a choice someone makes, there’s a strong reason behind…….
