I was on a run
I was exhausted
I was about to pass out
My body was at my limit
While a nice lady leisurely walked by
And stated “Smile more honey”
I don’t want to
But should I?
Should I project this false image to the world
That I’m not in pain from pushing myself harder than anyone else
That I’m not struggling with life
That I’m not on the verge of tears at all times
Should I smile?
