Behind a smile

Misdirection is a coveted strategy. Do not diminish it. It forces walls to buff down and serves us what we need to survive. It could be a smile, or a scowl ;)

That's the truth

So hard to know a genuine smile anymore. So many are laced with pain.
Cool senryu

More then we know. Thanks Debbie.

Yes, some fake it 'til they make it. Hugs and love, Oral

Smiling when your sad is supposed to trick the body into being happy. Not other people. Science always gets it wrong lol

Maybe so, but this is how the poem was written.
