do your lines
express anguish
or pure bliss?
because you realise
whatever visage
you wear the majority
of the time will reflect
on your outsides
i never used to smile
when i was young
i used to find it posed
and artificial
now i realise
regardless of the pain
or ache in ones
heart — a smile is the one
thing that will release
an emotion
of pure
delight
