The Illusion of the Smile | Emree Olszewski (11)

The Smile produced bears nothing underneath,

The veneer of happiness,

Fical,

Ready to peel, 

Piece by piece,

Thinner,

Slight,

small

The image is fake, 

No sincerity within, 

Nothing but an illusion,

But, 

The perception of the Smile is real,

Is deep

This Smile holds nothing,

However, the affect it bears is 

Great,

Tangible, 

Genuine 

smiles,

Real smiles,

Full of,

Joy, 

Happiness,

of Life, 

Rush to greet the great deception 

That is why the Smile is here,

Not to have any depth for itself, 

But to inspire,

inspire other smiles,

Inspire others’ joy

The mirage

Reinforces,

Encourages,

Solidifies, 

The people surrounding it 

That is why the Smile is here,

to help, 

to aid,

To support

The Smile is nothing more than an illusion,

But its effect is so much more
