I do not like to smile
I do not have much to smile about
Yes I am alive
But so are the evils of the world
So much pain and grief
Smiling is something you do out of relief
I have yet to feel relieved
Smiling will not end the suffering
People laugh at your smile
People hate when you smile
People will make sure you never smile again
I do not like to smile
Smiling is something you do with a lover
or a friend
