More than a Smile

 Smile… 

A small smile shone in your direction goes a long way. It gives strength and a sense of protection. 

Smiling is something I had to learn, teach myself in front of the mirror. Till it went from looking awkward to warm and natural. Till I received compliments that I had a beautiful smile or I’m always happy. 

A perfect mask for a perfect face of a broken mind. As long as I can influence others to smile with just a flash of mine, I am satisfied. 

Right now, I’m not sure of a reason to smile as there’s nothing so great about the current state of mind I’m in or the state of my situation. I’m just hoping to pull myself together and get stronger. 

It’s just me, myself and I facing this battle. A smile a day keeps the engine running. Keep being kind and bright. You might be saving a soul.
