Natural by Margaret Karim

 Natural 

Perceived invincible

By friends, family

The person to go to

For advice, sympathy

To show weakness

Not her role

As a consequence 

Often feels alone 

Has discovered 

If tears glisten

Few ask why

None care to listen

To a reply

Prefer not to stay,

Or change the subject

In a roundabout way

Has learnt

To perpetually smile

Conceal her emotions

Natural, after a while
