I Like It When I Smile Maigc 9

I kinda like me when I smile 
awkward and insecure,
even if it feels like walking a mile; 
A mask that’s bending to my mold,
yet I still put myself on trial;
Vulnerable happiness in the mirror   
and nervous all the while; 
Maybe I’ll open up a little more 
let my heart guide me for a while.
