Smile they say your should smile more
You are prettier when you smile
But she says, your teeth are so yellow.
I like your hair they say. She says
Why are your bangs in your face?
You look so cute they say yet she says
Don’t wear that it makes your chest look big.
You have cool shirts they say, her response why are you always wearing black?
I love your shoes they say, she shouts
Straighten out your feet!
No matter how much they compliment
She will always have a counterpoint
They and she can agree
My smile was infectious. So where has it gone?
They and she agree I used to smile more...
