"Smile"
March 1, 2017
"Don't cry." they say.
"You are too pretty to cry." they say.
"Smile, it'll make you feel better." they say.
I have a blank expression, with a false smile on my face.
I hold back my real emotions to present the fake ones.
Because, it's better to be fake than real.
So smile.
It'll honestly, honestly make you feel better.
That's what everyone says.
