A poem on smile describing the reality.

So many quotes on how
a smile can change
everything.
Yet when I think about
the most authentic moments,
it was those tiny expressionless; neutral; bland-face
where I didn’t have to
pretend.
Those tiny real moments;
how did nobody notice?
Was I an amazing actor?
Were people just ignorant?
Both
I guess.
