you have to smile
you have to laugh
even when you're crying,
even when you're dead inside,
especially at those times.
because sadness kills,
and our brains are naive,
so if your smile can fool all of them,
it can fool you too.
so when you are drowning,
do me a favor,
let the waves crash over you with the biggest grin,
and refuse to let your sadness win.
