I may smile br But you haven’t known my pain br My successes seem grand br Taking me places that I could have never planned br Frost’s path has indeed made all the difference for me as well br Proud and tall I stand br Nevertheless my pain has been much grander br Covered it as well as I could br Wailing in the dark; alone and lonely br Wails falling on deaf ears br Purposefully I allowed them to fall br My soul needed to heal br My heart knew this and listened to its cries br Sitting here now reminiscing with a healed soul br And a grateful heart br Sighing… br Reflecting on past pains br Smiling in awe for the girl in me who made it through- br Especially taking into account that she took the path less traveled br And that made all the differencebr br chanda pandabr br
