Smile... Smile, she said As if she had never laid A hand against me Smile, she said Just before we got to church My adopted mother challenged With eyes that warned Daring me to disobey Smile, she said Sadistically twisted She was sarcastically gloating Smile, she said Smile, they said As if it were easy Sweetly arrogant were they Smile, they said As I walked into our office All smug and taunting Were they Happy to see my suffering Smile, they said Gleaming with sick disdain Eager to see a twitch of despair Smile, they said Smile, the happy girl said As if commanding me Hoping to cheer me up Smile, the happy girl said As I was walking down the street My eyes forlorn My lips set tightly in a line I couldn't even look at her Smile, the happy girl said Skipping gleefully by Not a care in the world Smile, the happy girl said Smile, they all said. Their voices screaming In my ears as the last drop of blood dripped Smile, they all said.
