Still Smiling

Still there?

Still there

I re-count the black days

Recollect some circumstances

Even though it takes my sleep

I recall the black days

The mismatches and the end of some affairs

I recall the black days

Between zenith and nadir

Is there a pattern anywhere?

I recall the black days

The blackest one it's not the last one but it's there

And somewhere down there

I'm smiling

Still smiling

I'm smiling

From the bottom of my shapeless soul

I'm smiling

Still smiling

I recount the black days

Wade through all the shadows

Even so it takes my sleep

I recall the black days

The cuts and the recovery

From unnecessary growth

I recall these black days

As maybe grim and melanized

But also colourful

And somewhere down there

I'm smiling

Still smiling

I'm smiling

From the bottom of my fairtrade soul

I'm smiling

Still smiling

I'm smiling

Still smiling

I'm smiling

Even so, it hurts sometimes

I'm smiling

Yes, I'm smiling

Still smiling

From my hypothetical soul

Still there?

Still there
