Trying hard not to cry...

Putting up a brave front...
She smiles...
Looks busy ...
But deep within...
She's trying hard...
Not to cry...
Stifling the tears within...
A brave face to the world...
She weeps blood within...
Looking away...
She wipes that one stray salt drop...
That finds it's way out...
From the corner of her eye...
She smiles...
She dances...
She sings ...
She barks orders...
But,
She cries a thousand drops at a time.
