Smiling Confusion.

Goldfinch60



Walking down the street

You see the woes of the world

Etched on people’s faces.

Life isn’t that bad though,

So I smile at them.

Some think I am just demented,

Some smile back,

Some try to ignore me.

But certainly one thing is clear,

If you smile at people,

It certainly confuses them.
