Diversify or simply

Diversify or simply

In my life, I have come to know
That a smile, in people
Are not of love, but smiles of choice

So do I compromise or sacrifice
Diversify or simply
analyze

If their smile can be trusted
Because the words they speak, are wrinkled smiles of lies

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?

Nice going here. A couple of spots I am confused on.

So do I compromise or sacrifice
Diversify or simply
Annualize (Do you mean analyze?)

If their smile can be trusted
Because the words they speak, are wrinkle smiles of lies (possibly change to "are wrinkled smiles of lies")

All in all, this is very thought provoking.

I'm rusty also. Spending too much time on my novels instead of poetry.
