Forcing a Frown

by ·

7/21/2016
When I'm down,
am I down?
Or am I
forcing a frown?

When the sky's gray,
is it gray?
Or does it just look
gray today?

When the stars shine,
they shine.
Or is it
just a lie?

Is a smile
(really) a smile?
Or just a frown
in denial?

Then is a frown
a frown?
Or a smile
towards the ground?
