she used to not understand people
who would put on a mask and
pretend to be happy at school
but now she does understand because
she does it herself now
she always acts so happy at her new
school but if you were to look
at her as soon as she got away from
her friend or when she gets on the bus
she kind of just lets go and doesn't care
she doesn't have to pretend
with her new friend but she feels better
pretending rather than explaining
that she just doesn't really feel happy anymore
and as soon as she gets alone she is
left with her thoughts and
her sadness and if you were
to look at her and i mean really look
you might just might be able to
see the tears she is holding back
but when she is with her
bestfriend who she doesn't know
where she would be in life without her
who is part of her family and she loves
her so much and she loves her back
even after she ***** up sometimes
and when she is with her boyfriend who she loves
and who is part of her "family"
she doesn't have to pretend with them
because she just feels safe with them and
seeing them or talking to them it...
it just automatically puts a smile on
her face that is an one hundred percent
real smile and she doesn't have a mask
on with them because they don't have
one on with her because they trust her
and she trusts them with her life
but once they aren't near her she puts
back on her mask and has to fake her smile
