Smile
February 3, 2014
Let it out.
Let it go.
It’s okay to cry.
Let the raindrops fall,
Take a breath.
Smile.
Smile, because pain is a form of strength.
Smile, because tears bleed truth.
Smile, because you care to give a damn
when the world seems to shy away.
Smile, because this is not the end.
Smile, because there is something to fight for.
Smile, because maybe you lost once,
but that isn’t going to stop you.
Smile, because you know how.
Smile, because you can.
Smile, because you will try again,
and they will never keep you down.
