The reason why I lie

Was to see your carefree smile.

So when you asked me if I’m okay,

The opposite of the truth was all I got to say.

I want you to laugh freely,

To always think that life is easy.

For easing your worry

Is my sole duty.

You don’t understand, do you?

This is not just about never being blue.

It’s about protecting your happiness ’til death,

The only thing that gives me strength.

Hey Baby!

"Don't Tell Me

if You Want Me

to Take You

out to Dinner.

Just Smile for Yes

(or)

do a Backflip

for No."

A smile can mean many things. It could mean someone is happy, or it could mean they are trying to put themselves and others around them at ease. What I think a smile means? I think a smile means hope. A smile means it's going to be fine, it's going to be alright. All good heroes smile. Have you ever thought why they smile? They smile to tell people it's going to be fine. Once people see that, their hearts fill with hope, knowing they'll be fine. So, a smile to me means hope. Even if the odds are stacked against you, smile. Not to show anyone else, but to yourself, to tell yourself it'll be fine. Sometimes all the help we need can come from within. I'll end this with one of my favorite quotes: "So no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, "I'm a-ok". The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest."

A smile to me is the one that

shows all your teeth.

It’s a smile that isn’t shy

And a smile that doesn’t lie.

A smile that is filled with happiness

is one lovely smile.

If you've been depressed for quite a while,

To boost your mood try flashing a smile.

A toothy grin,

From deep within,

Will make everything seem more worthwhile.

Likewise, if you've been burdened with work,

Or a certain person who's always a jerk.

It's best not to frown,

And keep yourself down,

Instead, by all means, unveil your smirk.

For me, I prefer to set my sights,

On showing the world my pearly whites.

Flashed rather broad,

My angelic facade,

Has gotten me out of quite a few fights.

Wait until you had one of your own,

I know you’ve been trying,

Move somthing here,

Pull something there,

Maybe it’s a diet thing,

Or a predisposition,

But it’s not cool to rub your nose,

Into it,

Especially since it’s part of the problem.

Get some help,

Find the right moment,

And maybe, just maybe,

With god willing,

You’ll crack a smile.

It might be painful at first,

You may feel slight disorientation,

Just make sure you do it right,

Don't settle for a sneer or a grin,

And never confuse it with a winse,

But you'll see when you get it,

You're life will never be the same again.

I am not a photogenic person.

When others smile, they express joy.

When I smile, it looks more like a painful grimace.

My eyes narrow to slits as my twitching cheeks desperately try to string up the corners of my lips.

If I show my teeth, I feel as though I am at the dentist.

Fortunately, I don't have to worry about smiling for the camera.

Just for myself.
