Smile
April 26, 2018
Fake smiles are like masks
Using them for a task
To cover up all the worry and hate
Not willing to open that gate
The real ones make
The whole world escape
Warming the air
Showing no care
For all the despair
Focusing on the happiness
Is what I do
When I smile for me and for you.

People always comment on how much I smile. I never really thought about it before, but I guess I smile because I am always trying to look on the brighter side of things. I can also always tell when people are trying to fake smile and supress their actual emotions. When I see people fake smiling I decide to try to make them smile for real because real smiles of true happiness are the best things in the world.
