No reason to smile...A Poem by Stan LeeA sort of poem...
What makes you smile?
I see you smile but nothing’s there I ask you why, you say “no reason” Your eyes are laughing Face beaming like the sun coming out What are you thinking? “Nothing” you reply.
Do I need a reason? Can’t I just smile? How can I explain my happiness? When it’s quite unexplainable Waves of emotion Don’t you get them too? Waves of sadness, waves of nostalgia This is a random wave of happiness.
What are you laughing at? I heard you laugh but nothing’s there I ask you why, you say “no reason” But I heard you laugh! Why is it I ask? “Better to laugh than to cry” you reply.
I have no reason Simply feeling ok Maybe somebody sent up a prayer for me Just for a moment I forgot all my worries I’m not insane Truly I’m not I can stop laughing and go back to sad But why is it crazy to laugh for no reason?
Why are you happy? There must be a reason You told me it was nothing But I don’t believe you No one’s happy for no reason Not when their life is stuffed up like yours
I’m not a liar I’m just smiling It’s a sad day when you can’t even do that Without somebody questioning your sanity You’re right of course I’ve no reason to smile Maybe the stress of it all has sent me insane Do you really think I’ve lost my marbles?
Why are you crying? Your smile's upside down And your eyes are all teary I ask you why, you say “’cause I’m sad” I liked the smile better But this sad face makes more sense You have no reason to smile that I know.
Thanks for reminding me.
A message for you A word of advice Don’t demand reasons for a precious smile If you see someone laughing, join in! Happiness is rare Smiles can be fragile The common sad face is a smile upside-down But sometimes it can be the other way round.
