Frown

The hardest challenge,
The easiest option.
Made me wonder,
About its reaction.

I tried to fix my gaze.

Wore my beautiful outfit that day.

I was about to break a heart,
The same thing happened in the past.

But this time,
I was not the one with a broken heart.
I convinced myself about the scene, 
The scene I was about to make.

I made my way towards your group, 
I thought I would teach you your own game.
Unlike the past, 
I will not cry this time.

For once I considered making a change. 

I said hi and you said hey,
We exchanged greetings,
With a smile on our faces. 

I was fighting inside, 
To let this scene slide. 

I thought I was making a mistake, 
But when you said you did something bad.

Your next words broke me again.

You said it was a mistake, 
I was the reason it happened in the first place. 

I turned that frown,
Upside down. 
Closed my eyes, 
And calmed my nerves. 

I released that deep breath.

I was holding for a while. 

As I looked into your eyes, 
That's when I finally smiled. 

I thought I was being a bad person, 
But I realized that things happen for a reason. 

Now I know I was not wrong, 
You were the reason for my pain. 

I came to end that friendship, 
The friendship which was only for me to keep.

My decision was right. 

You were not the friend that made me smile. 

I ended things and made a turn,
It was like I had been relieved of a burden.
 
I felt free after a long time,
I don't seem to be in your cage any longer.

Regardless of what strikes my mind.

You are only a recollection to me, 
Which I forgot to remember, 
I now carry the laughter and tears I experienced with me. 

As I finally know,
The upside-down secret to turning a frown around.
