Resting Bitch Face

I always wondered why people frowned at me Without reason or apparent controversy Until I was told, against all odds That supposedly my face is the cause. "Resting bitch face" is what they call it They say my eyes glare out of their sockets And honestly this makes no sense I have to come to my own defence. *Are you mad? Are you sad? Are you okay? I thought she hated me...* Yes, it's true, I've heard it all Somehow I'm the one who takes the fall For any petty issue that's produced From your misreading! It's no abuse! What? No, I'm fine. I was just thinking. Why are you always pick, pick, picking? Just leave me alone. I've done no wrong! What do you want? Me to burst into song? Do you know how much effort it takes to keep A smile on my face while I'm falling asleep? If it bothers you, don't look at me. I'm really not trying to mislead. Look, I'm sorry if you're offeneded. I just think it's time that this has ended. I don't want to lose any more friends Because the way my face naturally bends. Please understand that I don't mean The expression my resting bitch face puts on for me.

Haha! All my life i've had issues with people misunderstanding me because of my resting bitch face. My mom would tell a teacher that they were my favorite and they'd be like "i thought she hated me". Basically on an hourly basis i get asked if I'm mad or upset and you know its just so exhausting to have to smile all the time.
