When I smiled,
People said, “Eww, that’s gross.”
When I laughed in happiness,
People said, “It’s ugly.”
When I smiled,
People said, “Your teeth are yellow.”
When I laughed,
People said, “Your laugh is ugly.”
When I smiled,
People made me teary.
When I laughed.,
People said, “you look ******".
And when everything was fine,
When everyone said, “Smile!”
It was the moment
I was afraid to smile.
People said, “Eww, that’s gross.”
When I laughed in happiness,
People said, “It’s ugly.”
When I smiled,
People said, “Your teeth are yellow.”
When I laughed,
People said, “Your laugh is ugly.”
When I smiled,
People made me teary.
When I laughed.,
People said, “you look ******".
And when everything was fine,
When everyone said, “Smile!”
It was the moment
I was afraid to smile.
This poem is based on my childhood trauma when i was around 6 to 7 years old my teeth used to be very big like it used to bulge out whenever I used to smile and my family members often taunt me because of this they even didn't let me smile or laugh and now as i grew older my teeth naturally got fixed but still I'm always afraid to smile whenever i smile or laugh I cover my mouth with my hands. So if any parents are watching this please always encourage and support your child.
