VisionSmile more they say
Why does she look mad
Is she okay
As they try to whisper walking past me
Unapproachable yet, I’m never approached
Oh face how you are perceived
Oh my face how you are mistaken as upset
Maybe I’m sad
Maybe I’m broken
Maybe I have a lot on my mind
Maybe I’m stressed
Maybe I’m none of the above & I am genuinely filled with Joy
You judge, but don’t ask me what is wrong
You assume I’m everything, but happy
Here’s the kicker I am okay
I am loved
I am in love with whom I am spending the rest of my life with
I am filled with joy
My facial expressions will tell you many things, but you won’t know till you ask
Get to know me before you mistakenly identify me as angryVoting is open!

Vision, so many people are judged unfairly as being mean or angry simply because of their resting faces. In my experience, the people who look the meanest are often the sweetest. It is so important to get to know someone before you make assumptions. I am glad that you are filled with joy, and I hope others are able to see it! Thank you for sharing your experience.
