Why can't I smile?
Why can't I smile? I quit just smiling when it was another way to show a lie. Hey I'm smiling I'm okay. When I wasn't happy or Evan close to happy. We smile and no one ask why are you smiling? What made you happy? We smile when we're uncomfortable and we smile when we should be crying. I realized it was another lie to make others leave you alone. Me I don't smile only when I'm happy and that right now is far and between. Why lie with a smile it's not healthy to give your feelings their true avenue. So I don't smile can anyone return that smile to my lips?
