SMILE-it’s a good life

What if the world were silent

We wouldn’t need ears

We wouldn’t need laughboxes and voiceboxes

We wouldn’t hear the yelling and screaming

No one’s feelings would get hurt because they were called a name

We wouldn’t be able to laugh

We wouldn’t be able to talk

All of the trees in the world would be cut down

So much paper would be used

All of the simple things that we take for granted would be gone

All of our entertainment would be gone

No tv

No iPods

No talking on the phone

Everything would be on paper

It would take forever to comunicate

I think that even though some of the noises that we hear in the world are bad

The world would pretty much suck without sound

movies and television

they are so different from what life is really like

no one ever has seen a doll that runs around and murders people

or a mouse that turns into a horse after a godmother says bippety boppety boo

 

yet some movies and television

seem so real and so true

that we get lost in their worlds and start believing that a doll is going to pop out

or that our pet mouse jasper will turn into the horse that drives us to the ball

 

movies and television

the fairytales in movies don’t happen

the horror that movies depict hopefully will never

the people in our favorite tv shows aren’t real

 

 

yet there are some people who live life like a horror movie

some people play the evil doll, who murders innocent people for a stupid reason

some people play the victim, the innocent person who was killed for a stupid reason

some people play the victim’s family, the people whose lives are dramaticly changed

 

then there are the people who live life like a fairytale

some people play the pretty girl, who is nice and sweet but undiscovered by love

some people play the evil stepsister, who is blocking the beautiful girl from life

some people play the helpers, the ones who love the beautiful girl and help her

some people play prince, the lucky guy who meets the girl and falls in love

 

i believe that in life

you need to make your own fairytales

you need to stop the horror story from unraveling

you need to make your own miracle

 

tv and movies

they give us ideas of what perfect is

but their perfect shouldn’t be your perfect

you need to make things happen

 

because in reality

a fairytale can happen once upon a time
