Smiles, and hidden deceptions, meanings and betrayls
Smiles
People smile for a range of reasons.
To express joy
To manipulate
To justify
To belittle
To hide,
Excuse.
People judge these smiles,
With more smiles
Does anyone ever wonder, what was behind the smile of the person you pass in the street?
Is it just a polite nothing?
Or are they actually laughing at you for your choice of, clothes, hair, make up?
Or are they trying to convey a message?
Is that random person on the other side of the room trying to start a conversation?
A smile is in many ways
A way to say "**** you!* to the world and anyone who might cross your path

It's a way to say I DON'T CARE
And why should you?

A smile is a rebellion, a form conformity.
A smile is many things.
But can it be judged from the eye of the beholder?

Will the people who view the smile ever know what was behind the random smile of a stranger
It's a secret that stays with the wearer of the mask of a smile.
