Spectrum of Emotions

My smile is a spectrum

Of many hidden meanings

For most it means I'm happy

But I know its just pretending



It slants the truth you see

It seems to fool so many

Its cover up is so much fun

 A game that's playing with me



You would never guess if I was mad

My feelings so well hidden

So the game proceeds right on

And then you laugh like I was kidding



I try so hard to frown 

But all I'm left with is a smirk 

I know it's funny to you

But now you're acting like a jerk



See now I just sound crazy

I'm talking to my smile

This insane game needs to stop 

At least for a little while



I'm sitting here waiting

For my emotions to show through

I'm really frustrated

But there's nothing I can do 



I can holler, I can yell, I can even shed a tear

I might as well give up 

Because I'm mad 

Ooo look I smiled there
