Smile
Smile like no one can hurt you,
Smile like you can’t feel the pain,
Smile like someone can stop you,
From going completely insane.
Smile like all your friends love you,
No fights or tears ever again.
Smile like time can just pass you,
Like everything your doing would just end.
Smile like your parents aren’t fighting.
Smile like she isn’t really dead.
Smile like everything you’re seeing,
Is something you merely just read.
Smile.
Jesus has found you,
He’ll come back to take you home
Smile.
God is beside you
He’ll never leave you—
Alone.

I like this a lot, especially the first two stanzas, because it reminds me of the reasons I smile...
It's like in softball, when a pitcher hits the batter and they get a walk, the coach will say, "shake it off... don't worry about it."
Maybe smiling is just a way to hide how upset you really are. Smiling is addicting, isn't it?
I like the last part very much as well... very reassuring...
I kind of wish that everything I was seeing was just something I was reading...
Belle -- Personally, I think this is your best piece so far :)
