Your best smile
<p>I am satisfied.</p><p>In a lighted room where candles are all around me and the smell of scented rose is all I perceive.</p><p>I am satisfied with gushing water and rainy sounds coming from the TV while I sip my red wine.</p><p>Today, I wore red, a colour painted across a screeching world.</p><p><br></p><p>When everything crumbles, I remember that my outside shouldn't look like my inside.</p><p>I am here creating something I need you to see--until I bring your notion inside of me; you tell me everywhere is perfect and my everything is perfect.</p><p>I hope you recognise weakness and you see strength</p><p>You will see perfection as a whole because&nbsp;I give you two different shades of me</p><p>Everything that I am and everything I want to be</p><p>And so, I will sip my red wine again and give you your best smile.</p>
