Is one able to smile when told to? <br />Is one truly happy with their life as it is right now? <br />Can you smile when asked if you are happy? <br />One can say he is content with life. <br />Yet there is that thought that lingers on his mind. <br />'I am content, but not happy.' <br />Yet if he were to say such a thing <br />He would be looked upon ungrateful when he truly is not. <br />Yet he has no choice but to lie those around him. <br />And put on a fake smile when it's truly a frown. <br />Do you not feel that empty void in your heart? In your life? <br />As each passing day goes by <br />As time moves forward without a care. <br />Same old routine, sky is blue and trees are green. <br />I ask again. <br />Can you smile when asked are you happy?<br /><br />Tears of sorrow ...<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-truly-happy/
