Genuine Smile, Fake Smile but what about one associated with Pain?
Decided to re-post my comment as I would love others insight in regards to my question.
This video left me thinking; if we take out the real smile and the fake smile i am often amazed at myself (as a person who smiles endlessly) the sad smile. How is it that even through the most painful of times I as well as others are still capable of smiling, they maybe smaller in size from an actual happy smile yet still the only answer in that i can verify from my end is even with a sad smile i seem to connect the emotional vulnerability of realizing that even through the pain i could feel emotionally and physically a smile is there to comfort me, a selfish act that allows me to continue? Hard to articulate yet anyone else get my train of thought?

What is this feeling that reminds just to not be happy
Haven't said nothing to no one
Haven't said "the word" yet to the one
Haven't yet said I do to anyone
Kept smiling with happy faces
Kept talking with happy words
What is this feeling that just embraces not to be happy
Teared eyes with smile on the face
Heavy heart for painful moments
A smile is there expressing happy tears
As if it's a musk - not getting loosen up
Afraid to loose it up -
Afraid to show, show the face that's behind
that's not the same I usually have.
