Smile

My smile
Is a grotesque mask;
A fitting cover
For a diseased soul.

Your soul has a spark of light. Look for it.

Written one day when I was doing a lot of fake smiling at work. I'm usually a bit more cheerful than that!

[Firebird]

Fake smiling hurts. I know you are cheerful. Poetry is the cure.

[Zugzwang]

Yes, generally I have a very cheerful and mischevious demeanour.

[Firebird]

Yh I bet! :-)

[Stan Lee]

It looks good on you though... :)

[Zugzwang]

Why, thank you. Your smile is truly enormous. And yellow. But in a good way! 😃

Laughing out loud in the middle of a shopping centre. :Do thanks for the compliment.

[Firebird]

:-) I wish more people would laugh out loud in the supermarket!

[Stan Lee]

:D If you start doing it, I'm sure others will too... :D

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, the mask....we so often wear them to cover our true feelings, for various reasons...

[Zugzwang]

We do indeed, Jacob....it's usually a good thing but sometimes feels like a lie.

It's amazing what a smile can hide. If anyone ever finds the key to mine, or the off switch, Pandora's box will look like a quaint picnic in comparison.
Oh, nearly forgot the smile :)

[Zugzwang]

Hahaha. I've had the same thoughts!
