Smile

A Poem

Smile

Even though your insides are dead

And your thoughts are outside of your head

Even though you don't know what to do

Nor having anyone to go to

Even though that little bit of happiness

Each day get less and less

Slowly dying of stress

Because your life is such a mess

That you start to question is Jesus the one that you confess

Smile

Smile my darling

No need to have tears flow down your pretty face

A rope and fan will not solve your case

A cup of chemicals can not stand in place

A sharp edge cross the skin will not mend

Don't let the demons in your head tend

To direct you to that fiery dwelling

Those guns can not stop the yelling

Only end the anticipation that death is compelling

Smile

Smile

Even though your fairy tale land

Has broken to shatters

Fuck marriage, Fuck kids

That shit doesn't matter

Bury deeper, Burn deeper

And *BLAH*

Dreams splatter

And reality just get sadder and sadder

Smile

Smile

Oh wait

Who smiles in those situations

Don't give me the talk

About the other part of the nation

I'm here, I'm hurting

My faith needs inflation

Stop helping, stop speaking

Won't smile towards damnnation
