When I look at you upside down
It looks like you're oh so happy.
But the truth is you actually have a frown.
What's up with that...your face should be filled with grace.
But no, it's filled with Sadness, depression, and a little of madness.
What are you combinding and hiding?
You have nothing to hide.
So you can put that to the side.
I want to see your smile,
but I guess I have to wait awhile...
The very last time I saw your frown ( =( ),
It was hopping on a train and leaving town.


I wrote this to a litttle kid that I remembered babysitting... everytime i saw him he always had a frown on his face. but one day something someone made him happy and so I wrote this to him.
But I hope you like it too, even though I know it's kindda kidish.

Well, I wouldn't call this "kiddish" at all. I just think that this little kid made a big impression on you...

Once again this isn't what I was expecting and I hope you won't mind if I suggest you add on to this one. The reason being is that when you first read this, without your side note, it's hard for the reader to understand, at least I felt it was. Anyway, no offence, just thought I would mention it...

Great job once again

yeah I guess your right. But atleast I had put the side notes at the bottom so you guys could understand it. But thanks for letting me know.
