Your Smile

by Brigitte   May 11, 2006


Everything’s going wrong
Feeling like I just don’t belong
Nothing I do has gone right
Everything’s just a constant fight

I slump down into my chair
Feeling like I just don’t care
I vaguely hear the teacher’s voice
Being alive today was not my choice

A silent tear welds in my eye
But I just can’t let myself cry
Depression deep down in my soul
No use trying to play cool

Just when I think my life is pointless
Just one big never ending mess
You turn and smile my way
And boy, when you smile, my sorrows stray

You wink and pass me a letter
Somehow my life is getting better
You grin as I open it
Your eyes all alit

Inside it read
“I know we’re hanging on by a thread
But I’m lucky to hang with you
I love you, I really do”

I smile back
As my life slides back on track
It’s amazing how just one of your grins
Can make my whole world spin!
