Facial Grimaces
A poem about people making facial grimaces
A facial grimace
shows the mood
you are in.
A movement of muscles
making you smile
or smirk
with an angry glare
or a happy stare.
Smiling is being happy.
Smiling is feeling fun.
Smiling is positivity.
Smiling is grinning
just by moving
the muscles
in your face.
A facial grimace
can be a slight grin
clearing the fog
and the negativity
from your mind
helping you to unwind.
Laughing is opening the mouth
to make a sound.
Laughing is feeling joy.
Laughing is being merry.
An easy movement
or sound
using your jaw
to move
up and down.
Laughter with a loved one
is powerfully enthralling.
Something to be done
even if you're down
and not having fun.
Facial grimaces of positivity
helping you smile
and feel less pain
will push the depression
far, far away.
Alas,
it might be the answer
to a positive life
if you work
those facial grimaces
each and every day.
An experiment to practice
until positivity returns.
A vast improvement
to lessen the agony
of an unhappy life.
