Smiling
What’s wrong with me?
It’s not that big of a deal
People interact with strangers daily
Just make a joke and smile
It works almost all the time
They won’t know you’re scared
Right?
Yikes.
Run!
Breathe now, you forgot
It’s time to take on the next task
Performing on the stage
You’re dream in life
If you focus and smile
They won’t see the shakes
Right?
Oops.
Help!
Don’t dally in weakness
It’s all in your head
Find some inner strength
To alleviate your dread
Brace up and smile
They don’t wanna see your pain
Right?
No.
Ow!
It seems I’ll always be here
Swinging on a pendulum
Taking risks and feeling fear
Discomfort every time
At least I try to smile
They help make sure I grow
Right?
Hmmm.
Yes!
