Positive Smile
Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)
It doesn't take much to smile.
The average person only needs
to use 47 percent of face muscle
to smile. 13 percent to frown.
We walk around life.
Hiding what we feel.
Never revealing our true colors.
Masked behind a fake smile.
To feel wanted we try to please
those around us to feel accepted.
Deep down we sometimes feel
hollow an empty shell.
Disguising who we really are.
To make the void we feel whole.
To smile doesn't take much.
It is a fraction of our souls intuition.
To acknowledge our presence our
confidence. It is not hard to do.
It is better to live guarded and in
disbelief. Than it is to believe.
Many times we are tested to see
our strengths and weaknesses.
To recognize failure and success.
We must be able to break a dozen yokes
to make the perfect omelette.
Sometimes it feels like we are
stuck in the mud. But eventually
the more we thrust and sway.
The more we pull ourselves out
of the mud and on our way.
It took Thomas Addison 2,447 tries
to invent the light bulbs. In life we
must find ways to stay positive.
Even when the odds are against us.
Our inner strength comes from
within.
That is what makes us human.
All we can do is smile.
The greatest weapon anyone can
possess is yourself. The greatest
arsenal is confindence....
So smile, you matter no one can
take that away.
