Empty Smile

There are times she feels okay 

Like not a thing is going wrong 

But this feeling doesn't last or stay 

At least, not for very long

 

There are times she feels so great

Like she's on top of the world

But there's a crumb left on her plate

That quickly will unfurl

 

She tries so hard to see the good 

That surrounds her every day

But she doesn't feel it as she should 

And her happiness always fades

 

Still, she'll keep on living

She's trying so hard to hold her smile 

In a world that's unforgiving

Even if it only lasts a while
