Smile :)


A smile speaks for itself.

It can make people melt.

But can you see what’s going on inside?

Can you see their true self?

A smile holds a thousand words.

A smile can hide away what they truly feel.

Behind that smile can be tears,

Or maybe a little fear.

A smile hides away our deepest feelings so well.

A smile gives others some joy and cheer.

A smile puts others at ease,

Even a little tease.

A smile can mean many things,

Especially behind those camera lens.

A world nobody else can see but me.

A world no one else can understand.

All they can see,

Isn’t the real me,

But the smile they please.
