Smile.


monday:

Faking everything. Walking around with what should be a genuine smile. 

Nobody notices, everything will be okay. 

Tuesday:

Just another day. Friday is almost here. Just put that smile on, nobody will notice. 

Everything will be okay.

Wednesday:

Keep your head up. The weekend is around the corner. Don't let it bother you, 

just don't. Keep that smile on your face, everythng will be okay.

Thursday:

I am so tired. I have to pull through before I fall on the rocks. Just one more day with a 

smile, everything will be okay.

Friday: 

I can't handle it. My mood is changing. I can't keep the smile. It gets lower and lower. 

Nothing will be okay. 

Saturday:

*ding* a phone buzzes. Glancing over, it's a friend. What is going on, it read. 

She noticed? Someone noticed.

Sunday:

The friend comes over. Talk, talk, and talk. Words go by back and forth. Tears were 

rolling. Hugs were given. I was made sure, that everything would be okay. What gave 
it away was the smile. That "genuine " smile I put on. Little did they know, a genuine

smile had already died. Everything will possibly be okay..
