The saddest tears you'll ever cry
Are the ones you try to hide.
The most beautiful smile you'll ever give
Is the one you refuse to share.
The warmest embrace you'll ever feel
Is the one from those you despise.
The best laugh you'll ever have
Is at the one you see in the mirror.
Don't be afraid, be who you are,
And don't let the world get you down.
The best story you'll ever tell
Is the one without any lies.

The last stanza is the best. I don't agree with all the sentiments. I think I would put( the best laugh is the one you see in your eyes. ) Although this would rhyme and spoil your flow.

I too really like the last stanza but am a little unsure about the first 2. I don't think I understand quite what it is you're trying to say. How can anyone know that a hidden smile would be the most beautiful?

i like the message at the end, but i dont think i agree with some of the things you're saying. i dont think the most beautiful smile you can give is one you wont share...and i definitely dont think the warmest embrace comes from someone you despise, that doesnt make sense to me. i dont know, maybe we just have different perspectives on things. thanks for sharin, peace
