I Can
You say
I cannot
The path is too steep
The road to narrow
They say
I cannot
I'm not strong enough
Talented enough
But I say
I can
I will work harder than anyone else
I will try till my dying breath
Because
I can
Smile
A smile is pretty
Shows reassurance
Happiness
Ease
But the effort to make that smile
When it is fake
Can take all of you
Everything you are
So that when you fall into bed at night
You are empty
Drained
