Smile

I always smile
People think that I'm always happy
Because I always smile

A lot of people see me cry
But I'm smiling
So people think I'm happy

Sometimes I'm angry,
But I smile
People think I can't feel

I don't feel anything
I only smile
But people think I'm happy

I'm always sad
But I smile
So people think I'm happy

People ask me
"Why do you smile?"
I can't answer them

People tell me:
"There is no reason to smile"
I agree.

No one can understand
this curse that I have,
because I smile.

I ask myself:
"Why do you smile?"
I can't answer.

I tell myself:
"There is no reason to smile".
I disagree.

There must be a reason.
Maybe it's hidden.
Maybe it's in my smile.

I must find it.
What could it be
the reason to smile?

I start searching
In a happy cloud it could be
They smiled back

I continue
In the sea it may be
It smiles and waves

Maybe in the tree
I said
Just a sad smile

Could it be on the land
I asked without hope
Just a sad smile

I asked the humans
They don't have a reason to smile
I continue

There seems to be no reason
I looked everywhere
And no one smiled

Was it me?
Do I make them sad?
Do I have to go to make people smile?

But then,
Why do they smile?
Because I'm gone?

That can't be it
I went around the world
And no one smiled

I wonder...
What could be the reason to smile?
I turn to the light

The light smiles back
It's a genuine smile
It is a real smile

There it is...
The reason to smile
All along

It was me.
