They say a smile is worth a thousand words
But your smile leaves me speechless
A smile is supposed to be happy
But your smile makes me cry
I smile like nothings wrong
When really I’m dying inside
But at least now I’ve learned
A smile can be deceiving

Wow, what a thought-provoking write.  It kind of just made me think about all the people who I always see happy and wonder if maybe they're really crying inside behind the smile?
I hope your smile becomes happy again.

I think this is my favorite one ever written by you, but I haven't seen very many of yours, yet. I liked how it makes you think, think about yourself and if you do it and if others do the same.

It's not what I was expecting at first, I thought it would be another love poem, that is after reading the first few lines, but I love how you suprised me with this one.

Thanks for sharing!

short but thought provoking. It's really interesting to see what people really are like when people aren't around. The people you'd expect to be the happiest...normally hide it very well. Very good.

Tell me what you think about being open, about being honest with yourself.
