Smile..

You're a pretty girl,
you should smile more.
You're a good girl,
Why dont you smile more.
     Smile..
I'm told to smile as if its the cure to any possible illness.
Does my naturally "sad"
Face offend you?

I'll smile when I feel like it.
When it doesn't have to be forced
Like its ripping open
Both sides of my mouth.

If I smile on command,
Will you stitch me back up?
Play doctor with me,
Take me apart
And sow me back together in your image.

Show me factory made perfection.
Someone who can smile because its okay for her to eat today.
Show me someone who smiles
Every time its convenient for the occasion.

Pretty girl. Good girl. Stupid girl. Slowly dying inside girl.

Its okay, if you don't smile this time.
