Smile.

Smile, the world is watching
when tears trickle,
sadness will pass
when fists clench,
anger will fade
Smile, the world knows
every thought that torments
and sighs that suffocate
the unseen it knows
no one can hide in darkness alone
Smile, it's what the world wants
the warmth that comes from
something good in your stomach
rising to your chest and spreading
this is so necessary
Smile, I need you to.
