Smile (Collab with Realist Critic)
(Dee Too Cold)
This year has been full…
Full of ups and downs
Full of tears and frowns
Full of grief and sorrows
Full of highs and lows
So I’m on this road
To leave the rest of my pain behind
As I walk away into tomorrow
But through everything
I still continue to smile
Thinking about paradise
Brushing all the lies aside
To enjoy the good moments
That helps to make life worth while
When life is effectively understood
Smiles are created from good times in the neighborhood
As time continues to heal our deepest wounds as it should
My heart yearns for my loved ones to be here, if they could
But the memories we shared are there to fill that void
Pappy, you may be gone but I want to let you know
That your words till today, resonates within me to help me grow
But I miss seeing the smile you had, because it made my soul glow
I’m happy and relieved to see you at peace, but I hated to see you go
Big bro Thero, it still hurts that you had to leave us, you were our leader
I haven’t forgotten what you’ve taught me, I’ll be forever my brother’s best keeper
The bonds built between the 4 siblings since then has gotten deeper
But we started feeling weaker, not being able to see your heartwarming smile
But again, through everything I still smile
Even if it’s just for a little while
A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, or a year
One smile alone can make the sadness disappear
My thoughts cry when it rains
As I smile to hide or disperse the pain
Although I’m happy and thankful
That I’m alive to see my team win the game
Life’s changing for the better, things aren’t seen the same
I proceed to grow wiser with age
I’m having dreams of one day performing on stage
Life is like a book
Because every day is a brand new page
I refuse to let despair get into me
I refuse to indulge myself into misery
I persistently search for a better way
Until then, I smile to forget about the pain from yesterday

This year has been full…
Full of ups and downs
Full of tears and frowns
Full of grief and sorrows
Full of highs and lows
So I’m on this road
To leave the rest of my pain behind
As I walk away into tomorrow
As hard as its been
I put extra effort into my cheek bones
To pull off a smile
When I know my heart cries
I figure if I can force this smile
I can fly through time
To a better place
Hear the ocean waves
And forget about yesterday’s trials
I jump over hurdle after hurdle
Sometimes it feels like I’m on my last leg
But when I look to the sky
I can’t help but hear the words of the wise soul
That was taken from me on July 23rd
I’m grieving hard
But I still smile
Cause your memories are with me
They mean more to me than gold
I can’t see your face
But I know your spirit lives inside of me
Here I am
Thinking life couldn’t get any worse
But I was hit with reality
I wish she was tired of me
When the person you love
Turn they back on you
And you question yourself
Like why am I not enough
Why am I a fool for love
The worst feeling is missing someone who you can’t get back
While loving someone who don’t love you back
But even then I force this smile
And hold back the tears
That’s racing to fall
And through it all
I still live to forgive
With all this love in my heart
I can’t seem to hate
So I smile through the pain
I smile through the games
I smile through the lies
It’s important for me to understand
That although it feels like I’m constantly losing
One day I will be consistently winning
So I smile for my future
I smile for the blessings that have yet to come
I smile
