Smirk
Smirk followed the view,
I had seen it clear,
It was distasteful and abhorring,
I simply did not want it,
Nevertheless it was happening,
Nose screwed and facial muscles contracted,
My ears were drawn alert to hear something bad,
My eyes narrowed down to pupils,
As eyelids tried to shut the distasteful view,
My brain registered the bad data,
And made me tense from tip to toe,
Are smirks needed?
That depreciates you so bad,
And put you through so much stress,
Well it appears that smirk or not,
Is dependent on you,
Happenings would happen as they would,
Because life activities you cannot control and harness.
