Smile

Come, come away from the plundering darkness,
Smile your sweet, yet miserable smile,
Let the silent sob escape your throat
And let go of the anger that chokes your mind.


Hold your breath and have a little faith,
Faith for the tomorrows to come,
Let your breath fog up the cracked, yellow glass
And draw your sorrow for the world to see.


Sit by the river and stare back at your face,
Think of all the things that inspired your day,
Let the lines of worry and hatred fade away
And smile your sweet, yet miserable smile again.
