Smile

Smile,
smile,
just smile,
smile to feel okay for just awhile.

An expression,
to show happiness.
Maybe to show less aggression,
of your sadness that has become a suppression,
of the true feelings,
that you don't want to show.

On the outside you can show,
the one way that you feel.
The inside though you can't be strong like steel,
there's just to much to deal.

Some people choose to fake,
this kind of thing.
I guess these people don't want to give and take,
so they just put up a smile and fake.

Let me tell you,
to anyone that reads and may understand this.
Hiding your true feelings are worse,
than keeping them in.
So instead of that smile you so daily rehearse,
please let your emotions take over,
even for just a little while,
or your suppressed emotions may adverse.
