Behind The SmileBehind the smile,
Behind this happy face,
There seems to lie a deep sadness,
Hidden in your heart,
For you know some days,
The country that once prospered under your rule,
Will lose its light.
Behind the smile, however,
There seems to lie hope,
The hope that there will be days,
When the country will recover,
And transform itself to a new and better one,
And will be as peaceful and prosperous as in your time.

wow, good peom A OUN.i do pray that our country won't walk backward again.
Your poems are all very touching, but I found this one more attractive than others because it expresses what I feel inside. I hope one day, our country will be as peaceful and prosperous as his time again.
King Jayavarman VII is the king that I most respect for and pround of, I was very impressed the first time that I learned about him.

well done,undecivable,awsome poem you wrote it realy made me say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my life is like a broken wings,
i can’t fly i can’t hide,
the only thing i can do is cry.
no one understand,
no one cares,
no one love,
and no one shares.
i am lost,
and i am scared.
i’m emotional,
and i’m distress,
and there’s no place i can stay.
i’m hiding from the true,
i’m runing from the lies,
and i’ll die no one knows.
i don’t show my feeing,
i don’t show my tears,
and i won’t tell that you’re my fear.
the angel exit in my dream,
and told me to forget about everything.
i don’t know why i’m feeling like this,
can anymore answer this?
