A facial grimace
shows the mood
you are in.
A movement of muscles
making you smile
or smirk
with an angry glare
or a happy stare.

Smiling is being happy.
Smiling is feeling fun.
Smiling is positivity.
Smiling is grinning
just by moving
the muscles
in your face.

A facial grimace
can be a slight grin
clearing the fog
and the negativity
from your mind
helping you to unwind.

Laughing is opening the mouth
to make a sound.

Laughing is feeling joy.
Laughing is being merry.
An easy movement
or sound
using your jaw
to move
up and down.
