Cricket Smile: Cricket Life?


Who lives the perfect life? 

Is it the one whose teeth so straight and pearly white 
Guess I live a little shaded, cricket life. 
Yet I still smile.
Is not about the dice that was given to me but how I roll them 
Teeth not in line, yet I still show them 
I am perfect in my imperfect.
A smile that uplifts every dead root from underneath the surface. 
I am not conformed to the million dollar smile trend but being able to kick a grin
because I am comfortable in my own skin. 
So when you see my little shaded, cricket life, do not be quick to judge
Because with its flaws, there is still much life and love involved.
