Pretenders seem to care less
About the world and its mess
They hide behind the apparent smiles
And smash words like tiles
Funny how we seem to enjoy crying
Forgetting that we should be praying
And somehow we laugh at the pathetic
But somehow deep down inside we sympathetic
Life has become an option
And to laugh is not the notion.
Drying paint dries the cracked walls.
And smear life as it near falls
What are we doing humans? Shrinking !
How we never smile at the good
But smile at when we drinking
And feed drugs to please the mood
Hear my cries dear young dude
Life is an option
And to seem deaf is not the notion.
Real talk seems to be a sneaky conversation
When the tough comes we play with emotion
When will we realize that in fact we are fearing
Dying,crying not listening to the weary
Distance and time seems all to be left
Yet we creep at night to commit theft
And stealing lives that shed innocent blood
Will the rivers cry with a red flood
Hear my cries dear young criminal
Life is an option
And to seem ignorant is not the notion.
The bubbly tide licks at my bare toes.
Anything and everything repressed inside blows away with the breeze.
I let everything go including pathetic pet peeves.
I hold dear the sun casting angelic rays across rippling water.
And smile to myself because I know that I am where I should be.
here forever in my own paradise of peace with the water from the sea.
My guidance is in the wildlife flying above me.
the sun casting its alluminance over the beautiful bay.
While I stand in total bliss with nothing negative to say.
I know that life can be full of up and downs.
Sadness and smiles.
Endless emotions for miles and miles.
But with moments like these
I cant help but smile at it all.
for I am happy and having a ball(:
Tears behind a smile you try to hide but deep down inside there's know way around in what
you trying to hide I see your fears that turns in to tears when ever you smile when are
you going to let go of him so one day the world can really see you smile.
Sitting here so far away
Watching you smile and play
While I sit here drowning in my own pain
See me for who I am
Look past my fake smile and cheer
See the pain I held for years
This is what you caused
Do you even care?
You always turn away
Excuse after excuse
What happens when you run out
Will you take the blame
Or just turn a blind eye as you always have.
What a smile can do
Keep On Smiling
If at times you feel you want to cry.
And life seems such a trial.
Above the clouds there’s a bright blue sky
So make your tears a smile.
As you travel on life’s way
With its many ups and downs
Remember it’s quite true to say
One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap
And when you give a smile away,
You get one back to keep.
Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unbidden
And sometimes a few tears must fall
Among the laughter hidden.
So when friends have sadness on their face
And troubles round them piled
The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
The end
I need to find a reason to smile again
And find beauty in a flower
For now I only sneer at them all
And my stare makes many cower
I want to discover my long lost zest for life
And my love for adventure to see
Today I find I’ve little but contempt
And a trip is fraught with misery
To walk with head held high and carrying a smile
While whistling a tune is a memory held dear
Now I dream of nightmarish ends
Revenge and remorse seems so near
I loved this world and I loved this life when I was young
Until others soured it for me and now I’m too weak to fight
So long I’ve struggled to hold my views
Maybe it’s time to light up the night
I need to find a reason to smile again
Does a cobra smile when he strikes?
Will I?
I used to hate chopping wood for the fireplace when I was ten, twelve, fifteen.
I even used to get angry about having to do it every summer.
"Why can't we have electric heaters? I want to go swimming!"
Well,
my mom still doesn't have electric heat in her house, even now.
Yep.
2009.
But for some crazy reason, when I visit her in the summer,
when I swing a heavy maul to split the placeholder before me
my shoulders are relaxed
and there is a smile on my face.
And every now and then,
when I bend over to pick up another piece of wood,
a little fleck of sweat drips off my forehead.
My smile vanishes,
and I briefly remember the boy that was.
Humiliated in that odd way that one can be humiliated when there is no one around to laugh,
I go back to my task.
I put the log up on the block,
aim,
and then swing the maul
crushing the dreams that didn't pan out into sawdust beneath my strongest blow.
The power of a smile overwhelms me
When hope is lost it can help you see
Through the tears and pain and misery
A smile can open hearts and set you free
How fast can just the other day
Become a memory fading fast so far away
I tried to convince it to stay
But off it went and here we lay
Arms wide open to what tomorrow brings
Endings belong to all our beginnings
Maybe and end to this dance on wings
Beating to the tune that the future sings
