“Smile”
(Written By: Alana Cheng)

My smile comes from the glow that exists from something that goes on to make me as happy as I can most definitely be as my life was once in the grave of pretending to be someone that I wasn’t, as I have paid all of my dues, but none of which had ever been recognized by the world of anything to anyone, but I once thought that I wouldn’t even care if anyone ever saw me for me, but then, perhaps I wasn’t fooling anyone, to recover from all the scars of being ignored, and to continue playing the part of the same role I have played as someone who’d only smile and put up an act as someone I wasn’t, but now I am most truly, truly smiling, as now is the time I have awakened and come alive to let my inner self come out and be who I most definitely have been for the most part, and there is another side that not everyone has ever seen before, and now, I am more than happy to live out loud the person that I am, as someone that becomes the energy that surges in my heart, and now is the time for me to be me forever and always from this point on.

My smile comes from the glow that has been burning for as long as I can remember for the 25 years I have been living, as not everything that I write or say would ever come to make any kind of sense at all, but with every will, there is most definitely a way, and with a way, I believe with all of my heart, that I will be able to continue living on as now, a person that has complete freedom to do whatever and to be whatever it was that I’ve always been, and I can’t wait to live the rest of my life with an absolutely true smile on my face, with a smile that I could never erase from the glow of my face, a smile that would tell of a story that was once hard to live in a real state of mind, although it was true, but now and forever, I know that I am no longer blue, from the inside, and I am truly, truly smiling from the outside, as this is the person that I have blossomed into, but was kept in the dark to pretend to be someone that I wasn’t, but now I am found to be the real being that I am, a human that was sheltered from the light, and now I am living to let the light in and I am ready to let the rest of myself shine out loud forever.
