Smiling

Smiling

Getting tougher
And I am getting
older
Laugh lines
Frown lines
Thank God tears don't stain
I am a professional
Lover
Liar
Bullshitter
Friend
Mentor
All these on any given day.
Don't let the smile slip.
Close the door before you cry
You big dumb fool
At the end of the day I hold myself close
And repeat...
"It's going to be okay"
And can't tell
am I lying or telling the truth?
