A/N: I'm drugged... hope this makes sense!
When it hurts to smile, the best thing to do is to keep smiling. Pain is easily ignored, turned into something much easier to deal with if you can keep smiling. Showing teeth, twisting lips, no grimace to be seen because there’s no room for error on the big stage, nope.
Smiling past swollen cheeks, bruised lips, bleeding gums is the only way to do it, the only way to cope. Crack a joke; make others smile with you before you carve that smile permanently on their face. Share the sick joke of the lingering taste of blood and regret.
