what's in a smile ?

- a million little pieces of everything you've been through.
the hurt you feel when you love someone who loves someone else or the pain that is felt when you look into your mothers eyes & realize she has fought the fight of her life. the confusion of the word cancer ... the regret of not saying everything that you should have before it was to late. the realness of watching someone take their last breath. the tears when you feel like nobody can relate. the pleas to God to just get you through the day. the willingness to always keep your head up. the determination to make your mother proud while she watches down on you. & the part when you realize you're only 17. life has not yet begun ...
