Smiles
What is a smile
I wish I knew
I smile so much
I've forgot its meaning
Never do I smile for its true purpose
Because Happiness and joy
They're lost causes
Now when I smile
It has endless meanings
Usually it means
I'm just trying to act normal
Because faking smiles
That's normal
Why
Why were we taught from birth
To hide our feelings
All of them
Joy
Sadness
Anger
Depression
The world doesn't need to know
The world doesn't Want to know
I smile to hide my everything
When I'm mad at the world
And the person I hate most
I smile
When I'm depleted of strength
And struggle to lift myself out of bed
I smile
When I'm completely broken
And I know I can't be fixed
I smile
When I'm happy
And no one will ever know
I smile
