Smile and Laugh
No tears shall stain my cheeks
Only a smile upon my face
I'm walking through such dark times
So I just smile and laugh
What reason have I to be so cheery
No one seems to be on my side
They glare and mutter as I pass
So I just smile and laugh
They all hate me
I heard every name, and curse
All of the jokes and threats, you think would hurt
So I just smile and laugh
Standing out in the open makes me feel free
However it leaves me open to those who wish me ill
Physical pain only lasts so long, not much I can do about it
So I just smile and laugh
I do stop and think every now and then
About the things I went through
It can almost break my soul, but I'm not broken
So I just smile and laugh
I'm still walking on, It has been a very lonely trek
Would be nice if along the way someone came with me
Even after all this time that hope is still burning, but for now I'm alone
So I just smile and laugh
I don't know where I'm going from here
I may live a short life, or I may live a long one
A life lived without laughter is no life at all, no matter how dark it seems
So I just smile and laugh
