Smile Weakly

Life isn't cupcakes and rainbows.

Smile weakly if you can

because it is not if, but when

life decides to take its toll on you 

not if, but when there nothing left you can do

So smile weakly if you can

because your problems will grow by ten

you will not sleep until eternal sleep

for life is a mountain far too steep

to climb alone no matter one’s pride

and your errors you cannot hide

So smile weakly if you must 

life has as much value as a grain of dust

know that you will have to fight against all attacks

and struggle with your sanity as you fight back

because no one else cares if your flame burns out

they never felt it’s warmth, with a doubt

So smile weakly if you insist 

That smile will eventually vanish with the mist

For life lost meaning long ago 

And eventually your face will begin to show 

How worn to the bone you have become 

and How much you long to be eternal numb 

So smile weakly if you will

but the pressure of life tends to kill

no matter how honest, simple, or pure

life is a deadly virus with no cure

No one dares search for such an answer 

This thing called life is a  cancer 

so smile weakly till the end

earn a memory or maybe even a  friend. 

because life is killing you anyways 

and no one wishes to die alone these days
