Dec 2011
She says she's fine
Draws a smile from a line
The secret thoughts inside
All the feelings she hides
Everything she wishes she could tell
Every reason that she fell

She smiles her life way
Through each and every day
Wear the mask again
Like when everything began
Laugh like there is no pain
Live to see what she can gain

Though she wears a happy face
Her eyes are in a cold distant place
She tries with all of her heart
But she can't just be happy from the start
It's going to take time
She needs to let herself unwind.

She's trying to let it all out
Teras on her face, for help she shouts
A cry heard by seemingly no one
But she son't give up; She's not done
She'll try to fight the battle
Hope to make the world rattle

To tell her story she strives
Trying hard to stay alive
But this is not what they see
That's not who she's allowed to be
Well, she's sorry,
But her real life's a different story.

"Look inside and who will see
What it's really like to be me"
She cries out loud
But she's silent in the crowd
When will they understand
This fallen girl needs a helping hand

The life you see day-to-day
Is not the life she lives in every way
That is a fake face, laugh, smile
She's broken all the while
Sorry, but you don't know the details gory
Her real life is a different story.
