In the middle of the room,
Singing loud with her medicine in hand,
With every second, fighting the gloom,
A subtle pain that is near unable to stand.
Trouble at home, in school and in her heart,
Trying to alleviate the pain with her drink,
Smiling to prevent falling apart,
Smoking and dancing to distract her ability to think.
Our broken girl is in pain,
Although her feelings have been numbed for the while,
She’s struggling to stay sane,
You have to look hard to see The Subtle Tear Within Her Smile.

It's a rare skill to be able to hide your true emotions to protect the people you love from any pain, it means sometimes your feelings get over looked when you need your subtle tear noticed but its the price we pay to save our people. Stay safe and Live well. JY x
