I tried really hard to laugh.
That smile was as wide as I could muster.
The steps were as light as possible.
This song as upbeat as I could play.
The tempo as bouncy as air.
My voice as round as the sun.
Please don't be angry.
I really did give it my all.
I'm aware that it's my fault.
It's not self-inflicted.
Please forgive me.
I'm as frustrated as you.
Your disapproval only makes it worse.
