Now Smile
September 10, 2016
When we were young
Our smiles never faded
We had dimples in our cheeks
Sparkles in our eyes
Do you remember
When we stood on our tippy toes to see who was taller
How we talked all night about things that don’t matter
When we were hungry,
We didn't care who was looking
I look at us now,
I wonder when we changed,
We aren’t those kids anymore
We plaster smiles on
To hide our fear
To hide our pain
