Smile, Smile, Smile
Smile, smile, smile,
it's time to take a picture.
A photo of devistation,
perfect recipe, perfect mixter.
Ding, ding, ding,
the bells and ears are ringing,
and all these worlds have gone dark,
why is everyone singing?
Smile, smile, smile,
don't they know I can't?
The walls are closing in,
and this is a wish I can not grant.
A ring, a ring, a ring,
saved by the bell.
Maybe things'll get better,
only time can tell.
Smile, smile, smile,
the yearbook still wants,
since the worst is closing in,
and my heart so heavily hunts.
Still Smiling
A strike to the face,
Your father's attempt to defile.
Despite his wrath,
You still crack a smile.
Mother says, "I wish I never had you,
That I left and kept on driving."
Yet, her piercing words fail to cripple,
And you keep on smiling.
The strongest have the brightest smiles,
People hate what they cannot possess.
Don't let them erase your joy.
Let them keep their fake finesse.
lull
the world is
beautiful.
bland,
but secure.
your schedules
are flawless,
everything goes
to plan.
you ask,
you wait,
it's given.
but you know better.
you're on a rollercoaster,
nearing the peak.
you'll take the plunge,
and the ride will be over.
you'll sink
like you have lead in your pockets
into a lake bottom
covered in
tangly plants.
they'll snatch you,
and you'll drown.
good things
never last
because life is
a scale,
and it needs to be
balanced.
smile.
smile while you can.
because the worst
is yet to come.
