Don’t Smile

Don’t smile
To shroud the pain
To conceal the strain

Don’t smile
To stop the bleeding of the heart

Smile not
Neither to cloud a sore
Nor to veil the real score

Offer not your smile as a gift…
Grinned from the cheeks of a Greek

Don’t wear it as a facade
…a dangerous camouflage

Pick not your smile
From the vines of sore
Let it fall
From the tree of joy
