I'm happy,
I really am.
It's just that smiling
has become
such a burden.
When everyone around me
isn't smiling, isn't it
hard to smile back?
When something's wrong
and you can't fix it,
either it's your problem
or it's your friend's
isn't it hard?
Don't be mistaken,
I'm happy, but I've
resorted to frowning
instead.
If your friends
aren't happy
isn't it hard to smile?
