By BONNIE MOORE

A smile is meant to represent happiness
But this is not always true.

A smile can mean many different things
Not just happiness.

Have you ever smiled on the outside
But on the inside you were crying?

Happiness was meant to be a real thing
Not a pretend thing.

Concentrating on being happy and smiling
Can make you more miserable than ever.

A smile should be a natural expression
Not a practiced one.

Next time you feel like smiling do it
Because you want to and not because
You have to.
