Smiling with my Heart


I smile in hope they will stop staring.

I smile in hope that they will see the beauty I see when I look in the mirror.

I smile in hope to make someone's day.

I smile in hope to let a little more positivity in this world full of hate.

I smile to show them that I will not their misconseptions of me stop me from living. 

I smile to show them I am ao loved and supported.

I smile to show them that I will not let any obstacles get in my way.

I smile show them that I want to be friends and I promise I'm not going to bite.

I smile to try to make them see who I really am behind this mask I was born with.

I smile.
