Smile

Fri, 04/19/2013 - 21:19 -- Mehhman

The grin
Simple and complete
Used as a saving light
Or maybe for sin

The sneer
Quick an decisive
Filled with anger
This is nothing to fear

The mask
Can fool anyone
Used by everyone
Worn by those who you'd never ask

Twice if they're fine
When they put the mask on in time

So smile now and forever more
Toss yourself to start the end
Hanging off a tree
Alone near on distant shore

Smiling the last smile of pain
Or of the insane
