A PAINFUL SMILE

When you realize there's no hope,

That redemption and salvation

Are all but not for you.

Yet just give off a smile.

When you realize you are but at a dead end

You can't go back

For the path behind is just as rough.

You give off an exhausted smirk.

When you realize nothing ever goes as planned for you,

Even in the presence of good luck.

You bury your face in your palms

And smile in anguish.

When you've suffered enough

Heart and soul tired as your body wastes away.

You are so used that even foresee future failures,

Cant cry anymore, you just give off a smile.
