Smile

A one syllable verb to express pleasure, kindness, happiness; the list goes on. To smile is simple. Tilt up the corners of your lips, exposing the front teeth. Your eyes should be bright and shining to be more convincing that you're actually happy. Maybe you really are happy; even better. But people who are happy definitely do not need a lesson on how to smile. It comes naturally to them. Unfortunately, it's not so simple for others. Because we're not all happy. There are three types of people in this world. Happy people, unhappy people, and unhappy people who have mastered feigning happiness. If you're reading this, you most likely fit into the third category. Maybe smiling is getting harder to achieve.  You could be slowly becoming more unhappy. You could be tired of smiling, tired of pretending to be real. Your secret could be out. You've slipped up. Everyone knows it was all a lie. Now you have to accomplish a real, genuine smile to redeem yourself. The possibilities are endless. You've probably guessed that I fit into the third category. If you want to achieve real happiness, keep reading. This is not to learn to keep the facade up. That's already been done. We will go through this together. A happy person is successful in the smile and probably cannot relate to your predicament. An unhappy person needs help theirself. That only leaves us, we have to help each other. This can also benefit an unhappy person, don't feel left out. If you're happy, read this to see that the world is full of different people with different struggles that don't need YOU telling them like it is. Let's become real together.
I have been struggling a lot lately with being truly happy. I feel like helping those who have the same problem. And telling those who are carefree that we don't see it their way; we have to get there. I know I won't listen to someone who I know will never understand. But we all understand each other and can help one another. This is a series that I didn't have everywhere else to post. I hope it helps even just one person.

If I can hear the shouting
The rap isn't blaring
If I can hear the vase being smashed
The speakers have crashed
If I can hear the slap stinging
The rock group isn't singing
If I can hear the door slam shut
Better turn the music up

I want it loud enough to make my ears bleed
So loud I can't hear myself scream
Eyes shut tight enough
To keep the tears in
I want the vibrations to make my head spin
I can't escape the pain
I'm bordering on insane
The only way I won't lose it
Is to not to lose the music

I can feel their eyes burning through me
Everyone has an opinion of me
The pressure and stress
Got me craving emptiness
If the words get past the beats
It'll be the end of me
The louder the song
The more calm I become

I sat all alone in my room
Thinking about love
And saw that I was doomed
I have never found true love
To be honest I think it's all a big lie
Like another beating heart
Could make mine feel complete
We couldn't stand to be apart
When we're together
All our problems take a trip to the back seat
Well, I see it as lust at its worse
The way I see it, love is a curse

But maybe you could change my mind
With your charm and that smile
That makes my heart beat a mile a second
And I reckon you won't stop there
As long as you can make me
Forget all my pain and despair
You and I can become we
You'll be one of my many pawns
For you I'll take love and all of the cons

Fear and ecstasy fill my veins
I'm hoping the latter will wash away
Because now you have full control
Lighting up my heart like its coal
And you have the power to blow out the flame
And leave as quickly as you came
Originally that was my intention
And I have to answer to myself for my contravention
Because if you broke my heart
It'd be all my fault

We've gotten each other trapped
We let our wills crack
I'd lay it all down for you in a second
My common sense fights with my heart
My inner turmoil is an Armageddon
Now I'm looking for a spark
Or maybe this was just a losing game from the start

Heartless
Cold
Distant
Emotionless


These are just a handful of names used to desribe me

Heartless
Because I'm slow to compassion
I find compassion as something to be cherished
Rather than just given out to anyone

Cold
Because no one talks down to me
Snarky replies and a sharp tongue protect you
Hurt or get hurt

Distant
Because getting too close is dangerous
There's a line not to be crossed between two people
If crossed, your pain is all your fault

Emotionless
For being an introvert
I feel like you
But not as strongly
But it's there
I just don't want you to see
Because that's too up close and personal
And because of that
You say I'll never love, never be loved
And then you wonder why I don't believe in love
You obviously don't show it
But you like to think you do

I'm not like you, and that's not okay
I don't why, but it isn't
Get used to it
I don't care

And saw that I was doomed
I have never found true love
Honestly, I think it's all a lie

Well, the way I see is lust at its worse
It seems to me love is a curse

But maybe you change my mind
With your charm and that smile
That makes my heart beat a mile a second
And I reckon you wont stop there
As long as you can make me forget
All my pain and despair
Just for a moment make me forget
You'll be one of my many cons
For you I'll take love and all the cons

Now you're in full control
Setting my heart on fire like its coal
Now I'm trusting you wont blow out the flame
And leave as quickly as you came
Originally that was my intention
Now I have to answer to myself for my contravention
Because if you broke my heart
It'd be all my fualt

My heart fights with my common sense
My inner turmoil is an Armageddon
But now you hold my heart
And now I'm looking for a spark
Maybe it was just a losing game from the start

You're avoiding me
Because it hurts too much
But did you ever think me?
My feelings are important too
They're what brought us here
I can't make myself fall in love with you
I do love you
But not the way you want me to
When I'm in need of a hug
You're not there
When I'm lonely
You're not there
When I just need to talk
You're not there
You're never there
Because it hurts
Well it hurts me too
But it's not about me now is it?
