Friends and smiles
Go hand in hand-
At least for me
They do.

When I'm surrounded by friends
It's difficult to see me with a
Frown, pout, or even my
Resting face.

When I'm with my friends my whole
World lights up and everything is
Sunshine and rainbows,
Nothing is dark and dreary.

Then, after they leave,
And I'm all alone
My mind goes back to being dark
And full of wounds that are trying to be healed.

In my mind there is no happiness,
No fun or laughter,
And smiles will never appear.
I don't even know if that dark place knows what a smile is.

Then out of no where I get
A message or call
And I smile like a giddy little child
Because I know that the dark place in my mind is temporary.

I wish I could see my friends all the
Time and smile along with them,
But I can't. We all need a break from each other every once in a while.
But I know that when I see them again my face will be brightly shining with a new smile.
