To the world she seems ok
Strong, independent, resourceful
She sings as though no one is listening
Dances to the music in her head as though no one is watching
Laughs at even the most ridiculous jokes
Smiles everyday to appease the masses
To the world she seems ok
Look though,  look deep into her eyes
The ones that others see and believe that  all is fine
Look deep though and you will see
She is crying,  but the world will not see
They will not see this damage
They will not see her ache
She will keep this to herself
But look deeply, you will see
This secret of hers you can break, set free
Do not let her know that you know
Just hold her, be there
Do this and soon, sooner than you think
You will mend this secret she keeps
