Opposite

Even though I should be crying,

I'm smiling.
Even though I should be laughing,

I'm sighing.

Everything is the opposite

of what it really should be.

But even though that's the

way it is, I'll let it keep on going.

Because I don't really have

to act the way I should,

because nothing has to be

the way it truly is.

Even though I should be smiling,

I'm crying.

Even though I should be sighing,

I'm laughing.

Everything is the opposite,

of what it really should be.

And even if this keeps on going,

I'll just let it be.

Because I really don't need to act

the way I do.

Because I really don't need to be

the way I am.

And because

it doesn't matter

if everything

is o p p o s i t e.
