Smile

Sometimes I wish I smiled more.
But I don't much anymore.
And it's not like I don't appreciate things,
because I really do...even the smallest
act of kindness...I really appreciate.

But it's really hard for me to smile anymore.

If I go to a gathering or around people I will.
But my normal expression is very serious.

A lot of people in the street stop me and
ask me why I look so down all the time,
or that I look very tired.

I do always feel tired...very tired.

I feel bogged down sometimes
just thinking of things.
Whether it's my own things,
medical things, or just the world
and what I see and read online.

The negativity I read every day.
The anger, the hatred online.
Watching or reading the news.

It all gets me down.
There is just so much of it really.

Maybe that's why I like David Archuleta.
He always brings a smile to my face.
