Raised to be Sad

A smile doesn't come naturally to me.
I've never even seen one.
This house and it's taxpayers have a disease which they spread down on me.
The girl with a cake full of makeup, feels like a joke to the mirror.
And when they say cheese, she feels as ugly as forgery.
"Don't be so down," they try to tell me. I tell them, "It's human nature."
