Should I smile

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?
