smile.

smile
they say
i hate them for saying it.
smile
they say
as if it's that simple.
if only it was that easy
for everything to change
in one facial expression.
i wish
that by turning up the corners of my mouth
that i could change
who i am
what i feel
and everything inside my head.
smile
they say
as if smiling were the solution.
smile
they say.

Nicky revealed that Richey did not particularly enjoy this fan worship. For a start, he saw his self-abuse as a weakness, not something to be revered or copied. And he openly expressed weariness at the adulation he recieved ' About 4 weeks before Richet went missing,' Nicky told NME, 'we were chatting. We had so much poetry off anorexics and a lot of it was so shit even Richey was getting fed up - not another pile of this again. I said "Look, I'm going to have to write a song taking the piss out fo thier poetry." And he was laughing. He said, "Yeah." He'd go " Oh no, not another fucking poem about eating an apple in the morning!" Even though he was suffering, he still had it, the cynicism.'
