If One Smiling Looks out of Place

Why do you smile now all the time?
It looks out of place.
Especially around those,
Adorning exposed frowns on their faces.

'I've found a different approach to reveal my bitterness.
I have discovered this way expresses my agitation.
And if anyone is offended,
They would have to ask themselves why this offends? '

It does not offend as much as it just looks out of place.

'Well...
Don't you think that is a sad commentary to make?
If one smiling looks out of place...
That should irritate everyone as to what it is they find important.'
