Poem: So many truths but i choose one

In my life

I have followed one simple rule

To hold still my happiness

Not to reveal my unhappiness

I have followed the path of beauty

To the oasis of peace

I have not hesitated to drink from this bowl

Because my life needed this remedy

To be meaningful

I cannot tell you all my secrets

But I can promise you

I hold my happiness closer to my heart

This where I hide my tears and my joy

This where I have built a shelter

To paste all my secrets

I am not hiding anything though

Except my agonies

My joy is displayed

On the window of my soul

It is the beauty of life

That I want to showcase

Dedicated to a special friend
