Smile Bright+
We speak without thinking
We hurt without knowing.
It brings us pleasure to see others in pain,
Because we are in pain.
We’ve all done things we regret,
And we all wish there were things we could change.
So let’s recognize
That our words hurt like blades,
That our thoughts can burn like flames.
So why must we bully
Why must we judge?
Why must we undermine others?
Why!
Why stare
Why laugh
Why look down.
We all feel pain
We all see pain
Let’s stand for the weak, and the frail.
Let’s say give love to those that dwell in the shadows of pain.
You’re not alone
And we all understand that pain.
Frustration, fear, inferiority, desperation, and rage.
And even in rough weather
Smile bright with all your hart,
Because the bigger the smile the brighter the light,
And the brighter the light the more harts it can touch.
