To Smile Or Not to Smile

By Nynita Johnson

To smile or not to smile that is the question.

Either I stay mad and frown at the fact that no one likes me or I keep a smile on my face for everyone to see.

To laugh, to giggle, to bring emotions upon thee

How can anyone laugh with me.

Is it because I am stressed and depressed and hide my feelings behind a smile.

I guess I will smile for you now. And keep my head up high for everyone to see.

To smile or not to smile that is still the question to me.
