A poem about (not) smiling

Post Reply New Topic

Smile
At least once every day,
Someone asks me “Are you okay?”
Why do they ask me? I want to know,
Because of emotions my face just can’t show?
Do they ask me because I’m staring in space?
Because a smile is not on my face?

Do I truly look so sad and down?
Does my face really have on an impressive frown?
Do I honestly look this way?
Not, once in a while, but most everyday?
I don’t mean to look this depressed,
But my face only looks neutral, at best.

After I while I don’t want to hear,
Honest concerns from all of my peers.
Is it seriously that important to smile?
More than now or then or every once in a while?
Why do people always think,
That emotions and faces are always in sync?


So, what do guys you think?

Very well written!

It's sad but, I liked it.

I like it. I get that "Are you okay" a lot too.
