Smile
By Valerie Odom

A feeling in my head, a feature, expression
A positive position that always taught me a lesson
Hide your pain, don’t let others see the real you
Shut your mouth, cus’ your words stay spilling toxic too
A 1,000 muscles I’d rather take over a gun
Know the true meaning and I might as well run
Representation, that is always the key
Like a chain, unlocked, unclipped, and set free
A rhythm of the beat that’s not too vile
Like the way you dance that you dance for a while
A positive style
The main profile
Smile
