Watch Me

People walk by on the streets, 
Judging me,
Picking me apart just by my looks. 
It doesn't bother me. I welcome it. 
I may not look like their definition of 
pretty,
smart,
or talented, 
but there is one thing I have, that I notice most people do not:
a smile. 
Without looking 
pretty
smart
or talented,
those people on the streets know that I am happy. 
That is something they can not tell me to change. 
My smile is my flawless message. 
I choose to stand out. 
I choose to smile. 
I choose happiness.
