"Just
Smile."

"It
Isn't
The
End
Of
The
World"

"Why
Aren't
You
Happy?"

I'm
Not.

Just
Because
I
Choose
Not
Smile
And
I'm
Not
Happy.

Doesn't
Mean
I'm
Anything.

It
Is
So
Strange,
I
Know.

But,
I'm
Not
Going
To
Smile
Because
It
Hurts.

It
Doesn't
Feel
Like
The
Truth.

I
Used
To
Smile
When
I
Was
Young.

That's
Because
I
Wasn't
Lying.

Now, why ask me to smile and be truthful? I can't do both.
