Smiling is hard
When you aren't really happy
Its like telling a lie
Because you actually feel crappy

Smiling is fake
When you're crying inside
Its like saying its nothing
That it'll wash away with the tide

Smiling can hurt after awhile
When you can't make them understand
Its like running out of supplies
While there's still a huge demand

Smiling is beautiful
When its amazingly true
Its like spotting a rainbow
And getting ice cream, too

Smiling is great
When you mean what it shows
Smile for real more often
It could help someone else, I mean who knows
