To Wear a Smile

To wear a smile,

That is who I am

The me that I want to be

The me that I want others to see

To wear a smile,

That is my mask

The dream that is protected

The dream that hides

To wear a smile,

That is my life

The child that watches

The child that hopes

To wear a smile,

That is who I am, and that is who I always will be.
