Smiling

When I wake up, I would like to smile
I am tired of feeling that my current smile is my own and mine alone
A smile means more to a person that has an internal frown
The burdens of life are often unknown
As love is in a constant state of sorrow
But only to the people that never frown!
As they only smile while others cry
