Don't forget to smile.
Smile.
“I’m fine.”
Smile.
“Just tired.”
Smile.
“oh, sorry, I’ve been busy.”
Smile.
Smile.
Smile.
It’s funny,
isn’t it?
How hard it is to tell the difference
between a smile
and a grimace.
It’s funny,
isn’t it?
How people are so willing
to swallow a lie,
If it’s what they want to hear,
And you’re baring your teeth.
