The ramblings of a crazy man


~I Smiled and it changed me~

Yesterday it was easy... I smiled

Just a smile, and everything was ok.

It started unconvincingly, 

An insincere grin pasted on my face. 

But it snuck its way in, deep inside... 

I smiled and it changed me.


And just like that,  

I thought I had found something,

Something great.  

A way out, a way up, 

A way to make everything ok again.

So I smiled... and it changed me.


I wanted to share it with everyone.

And so I did, it seemed to work. 

I smiled and it changed me

And everything was ok

A little strange, but ok..


But it didn't last

I was wrong...

It wasn't real... 

There was no miracle cure... 

I wanted it to be, but it wasn't.. 


So there I was... 

Smiling... 

An insincere smile... 

Hoping it would make everything ok... 

Hoping it would change me... 

But it didn't.

spaced-out, mas?
well, is it 'that grin' u're talking about?:) i understand...(sotoy!).
put on happy face. smile cures only if u really believe in it.

kami sayang sekali sama bondan! (entah kenapa tiba2 pengen ngomong itu impulsively,hehe. mungkin aku jg autis. atau obsesif kompulsif)
