A smile has the power to captivate,
A smile has the power to shine,
A smile has the power to manipulate their time.
They'll see your grin and be entranced,
Their world will stop, speed has no chance.
You will appear clear, the surrounding blurred out,
Their only focus on you and the smile you're putting out.
But what happens when even the most enchanting smiles aren't real?
Do we applaud their acting?
Do we confront their fears?
Shall we help them through and wipe their tears?
I don't know which way to approach
Such a gorgeous soul with no clue towards worth,
Someone whose act smile has fooled so many observers of the beauty.
