"The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible."

[Smile]

You ask me why I smile I say
It's easier to smile than cry
Cuz when you cry, everyone knows
That everything is not okay.
You ask me why I smile I say
I don't want your pity, see?
It's hard enough to fight my tears
Don't wanna ruin a happy day.
You ask me why I smile I say
I gotta be tough, I gotta be brave
Hide the hurt and hide the pain.
Woke up and said, just smile today.
You ask me why I smile I say
My sorrow's mine alone to bear
There's enough sadness here already, right?
And the world, it don't care anyway.
You ask me why I smile I say
I'd rather smile than cry, today.
