Please Don't Ask

Author: BClady

Please don't ask why I am smiling

Don't ask why I look so happy

If you could walk just one day

In my shoes, you may not see

Anything to smile or be happy

About.

But looking past the burdens

At the blessings in between

Allows me the courage to face

Each day with a smile.

If I ever lost the ability to

Smile, life would surely not

Be worth living.

So please, don't ask why I am

Smiling,

Just accept that I am

And join me.

About this poem:
I wrote this poem one day out of frustration. I always try to go to work each day with a positive attitude. But there are people who just can't leave their own problems at home. They complain about home life, work and every little thing. They see me smiling and they ask sarcastically, "What are you smiling about? You get some last night?"

I got the idea for this poem from those experiences.
