I wrote this after getting an amazing smile from a beautiful girl, and as well intentioned as it was I could just tell she was smiling to keep from crying or at the very least having one of those days... <br /> <br />I can read you <br />Your pain is written in your lines <br />I can tell that smile isn’t genuine <br />Honestly if you looked in the mirror <br />Your smile would be the opposite <br />And would reflect <br />How you really feel inside <br />When you look at your lines <br />And read what’s written in the mirror <br /> <br />(March 2009)<br /><br />Darrin McMiller Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/smile-to-keep-from-crying/
