Be happy and smile they say

Be brave and strong they say

Jenna was always flirting with the line between

Happy and strong

Jenna always wanted to be brave and strong and tough

But Jenna still wanted to smile

Every once and a while at least

Jenna always wanted to make her mom happy

Jenna didn't want to see her mom cry

Jenna's dad left her when she was 7

Jenna doesn't know how to stop flirting

And make a choice

She wants to be strong and happy

Jenna realized that they're the same thing

It takes strength to be able to smile every day when you're already so broken inside

"I smile" she says, "I am brave because of it"
