Creases like sad rows mask my forehead
With eyes weary of my forbears
Sagged cheek, dangling below my eye-bag
I forgot to smile
Recalling wasted years
Lost in chasing yes
Built upon fears
now glassed my life with tears
from words keeping my heart bare
from folks who made me
forget my profession
They scorn with their eyes
A profession that feeds my belly
Mock with disdain my 9 to 5
My service ask no respect in return
Its serve for insult as reward to mock
I forgot to smile
The forced date insist on a first kiss
the drunks, my express approval his advances.
Echo heard, are sounds of anger
Silence adorned become humility
I forgot to smile
As I walk your hall.
Hawking my talent
showing my I.Q with ideas proven true.
All you want is far more than my head can offer.
You seek to descend for my lower comers
My brain cant pleasure
So I forgot to smile
I crossed that pathway
Bear the rat race
became my dream-girl
in ways worth treading
the stars keep tinkling
as cameras are clicking
while dreams go soaring
now I remember to smile
