Hidden Smile

If you see me sometime and I don’t look your way,
I beg your pardon, just not myself today.

My smile is hidden, my laughter’s gone quiet.
Contrast to normal, I mean not to try it.

The struggle within is a battle some time,
feels like a mountain that’s too high to climb.

It’s lonely in there, just me and my thought.
Understand why? You probably will not.

If you see me displaced, please keep your intention.
Show me concern and give me attention.

There’s a smile inside, it just got displaced.
Knowing you care will bring it back to my face.

  2. If I can make eye contact with you, I will happily give you a wave and a smile. You might even hear me cutting up somewhere in close proximity, and without even knowing who is being so loud and funny, smile without helping it. My intention is clear…Sparkyjen was sent to cheer!
