Do you like this smile? I drew it just for you. I told you that I'm happy maybe this will make it true.

I drew myself a tongue and I forgot when I was young. Forgot about the cries that tried to choke life from my lungs. I like using it to speak, but mostly to force lies. I drew it long and strong to withstand all the goodbyes.

I drew tooth after tooth in search of the truth. I drew them bright white like moonlight on the roof. I bite down to keep certain words from spilling out. I have to grind them together or the pain will make me shout.

I drew a set of lips, the ones you kiss and then dismiss. They dictate each face I make, but I always feel like this. These lips don't do anything but get me into trouble. You don't do many things aside from remind me of the struggle.

So dont you love this smile I've been wearing all the while? Its as real as all the love I've ever received. Love and a smile are so easily believed.
