Why Smile
What makes a smile worth it?
Is it the look on their face that makes it perfect?
Does it take a genius to unearth it?
Even when life is horrible and bad
People take the time out of their day to smile even when their sad
Even when they're dying
When they feel like crying
When the only thing that they can do is keep lying
They smile
From ear to ear, wider than a mile
Even when they're lives are ever changing like a turnstile
The world is cruel and beats us down
and in the face of this cruelty they refuse to frown
Why do you smile when the world causes you pain?
What makes you keep your face unchanged?
Why does your face remain the same?
Why smile?
