Smile Again Please

Do you smile when you're sad?

Do you smile when you're feeling down?

Do you smile when you're angry?

Is your smile simply your frown.

How do you pretend to be happy,

When all you feel is pain?

Is this your way of saying,

That your sunshine is your rain.

Are you faking just to make it?

Hiding with that facade.

Do you worry that others judge,

That they see you as odd?

Do you think that no one sees you,

That no one notices your cries?

But I'm here to tell you that I do...

I see your tearing eyes.

I see how emotional you can be,

How fragile you really are.

I want to help you through your disasters,

For you I'd go far.

I see you when you fake it,

When you pretend to be just fine.

I notice your hands as they shake,

What I'd give to see you shine.

I'd live for your joy,

I'd smile at your laugh.

So what made you feel down?

What broke you in half?

Maybe it was something simple,

Simply not your best day.

Or maybe someone's words hit you hard,

Or there were pills you couldn't pay.

Maybe you were just tired,

Or you had a restless night.

Maybe you had anxieties from this week,

Or the sun just didn't shine so bright.

Do you think that I'm not watching?

That I don't notice you?

Well I watch you and I care deeply,

You may not believe it, but I do...

Smile for me often please,

Smile for me even when I'm not there.

Don't lie and say you're fine,

Because I love you and I care.

Don't think that you're small,

That no one sees you as you walk.

You are loved by many,

They love to hear you talk.

Why are you so quiet?

I understand that you are hushed.

I understand that life can pull you,

But you are in control not the rush.

So sit down please now,

Tell me why your down.

Tell me who broke you today,

What caused you to frown.

So that I can see you smile,

I can finally see you at ease.

Smile for me and be happy,

Be happy for me, please.
