I SMILE

Another day to go to work. All dressed up looking decent. A perfect perfume for a pleasant scent. A little make up on to look glamorous. Finally, a big smile to look perfect; But am I happy? Everyday I have the perfect look. Everyday I carry a heavy burden. Yet no one knows why? I always have the perfect look. I smile! I leave the world puzzled; Leaving them to dazzle. Not letting them know my pain. To see the tears; To see the agony! Oh! Countless times I stand under the rain. Waiting for lightening to strike me down. The howling wind to shove me off to the gutters. Yet, it never happens. I head home smiling! I believe the pain to be a mirage. A perfect illusion; Caused by the world spinning round. Surely, the suffering will end. The tears will seize; This involuntary happiness will end. Another day to go to work; Dressed up looking decent. Make up on to look glamorous. Perfume, for a pleasant scent. A big smile to look perfect. Soon, I will be happy!
