Where Did All The Smiles Go?

Where did all the smiles go?
Are they lost in the crowd?
Have they just fallen out?

Where did all the smiles go?
Are they 'so yesterday'?
Have they been thrown away?

Where did all the smiles go?
Are they now a symbol
Of self absorbtion?

Is it too unprecise,
To say that they're nice.
Or do I play by the rules
and say they're not 'cool'.
Why is it great
To be filled with self-hate?
Why can't we aspire
To be who we desire
And not to worry
And not to say sorry
For being you
For being true.

Here's to happiness.
