Image for the poem is it a sin to grin?

is it a sin to grin?

A slice of my skin  
full of fear  
making the smile widen  
from ear to ear  
 
he smiled at me  
pretty as a rose  
that has withered away  
the petals they go  
 
his knife digs deeper  
just above my chin  
out goes the blade  
then the stitches go in  
 
i stifle a scream  
 as he has something to say  
but i do not hear it  
as darkness takes me away  
 
so this is how i die  
a grin on my face  
blood oozing down my chin  
stitches holding it in place.
