As she walked down the lane of agony,
She wore that beautiful smile,
That convinced the world that's she's happy;
But deep within there's an unbearable pain
that's tearing her heart apart.
The pain  inside her is suffocating her like
she's
been enclosed in a room full of carbon monoxide.
She looked at every map and thought of every
route, that would free her,
But she was trapped by the heartless cages of
cruel words that people spat out of their
mouths.
She smiles to the world but cries to herself,
She's a soul filled with grief
But she wants to fly and breakthrough the cruel
walls of the world.
Her cries were mistaken for a smile,
Her shouts of torture curbed.
She waited for someone to call out to her
But, it was only fantasy.
Her convincing smiles slowly faded away, like
the mist of breath on a mirror.
Even though she tried,
She could not breakfree
And the worms of cruelty,
Ate into her brain.
