I've always been told to just smile
When I'm upset,
Because then people won't see
All of the pain that I feel;
You wouldn't want to burden them
With the feelings that will
Disappear in a few days.
If I'm supposed to smile
When I'm upset,
Then what do I do
When I'm actually happy?
Should I just smile then, too?
If I do that,
How will people know
Whether I'm truly happy or just faking?
Will they just assume that
I am happy,
Or will some of them realize
That I don't always tell them the truth?
With just a smile,
Perhaps, at least one of them
Will be able to see
That I've been smiling more and more lately
For all of the wrong reasons.
Yeah... Enjoy. 100 Poem Challenge #14: Smile.

I know the feeling, I seem to have my famous fake smile perfected...and it goes on every morning.

Great poem : ]
