I can smile


I can smile ,sure I can ,
But I forgot how to smile , memories faded ,
Time whispered ,days gone ,
Promises withered ,gain lost ??.

I can love ,trust me I can ,
But loving requires trust ,that I have not ,
They took my innocent soul,
Taught it to repeat the oath - trust no one !


I can be happy ,trust me I can ,
But I don't anymore ,I become an adult,
Adults don't laugh,they warn with frowned faces ,
I guese that's life ??- that God made !
