Smile= No

A smile on my face.

Give me some space.

I do not wish to smile.

Just add that to the pile.

The pile of things to fix.

Its started when I was six.

I am never good enough.

I am not tuff.

I am weak.

I don't really speak.

I just do not wish to smile.

Add that to the pile.

I am glad to see you happy.

As I am being snappy.

I am not myself.

That is lost on the shelf.

Somewhere hidden, waiting to be found.

It will never make a sound.

Smile.

Pile.

Not going to happen, ever.

Smile, never.

Maybe in the future.

Maybe in nature.

I need some laughter.

It is just the matter.

The anger that fills me.

Just needs to see.

That it needs to leave.

And pull up a sleeve.

Just go and not return.

Not without a burn.

From your smile being to hot.

And burned in the pot.

A smile on my face.

Give me some space.
