Smile

After a long, hard day at work,
go out for a walk,
breath in,
calm yourself,
find your nirvana,
find your center,
buy a dog,
a cat,
a parrot,
a new car,
a notebook,
write you emotions and deepest secrets in it,
and then look at yourself,
see your reflection in the mirror
reach deep inside you and pull out all the bad,
with one, big, blazing and blinding smile,
show those big, pearly whites,
shine,
and smile.

Smiling makes the world go around,
smiling makes the sun come up,
after a long night of nightmares,
smiling is a good way to live another day.
Smiling makes you forget
of the pain and hardship.
Turn on your favorite song,
go for a long walk,
Get up, get out
roar like a lion,
and stop being a frightened mouse.
Show your true beauty,
don't be fake,
show that one thing that holds the most truth
in you
and this,
your smile.

Smile.

It feels good to smile. :)
