First Name: Broken       Last Name: ?

If only you knew what lies behind her smile
Pain and abuse
If only you knew what lies behind her eyes
The horrors she's seen...the tears she's shed
With every breath she struggles; it's a constant reminder of stress

She's vulnerable, weak, hurt

She never quite made it as an actress but,
the facade she portrays: courage, strength, faith
should earn her an Oscar.

If only we knew how she felt on the inside...
despair, lonely, pathetic

Happiness disappeared from her repertoire long ago.

She'd find other ways to feel good
***, drugs, alcohol
they didn't work*

Where is she now
waiting for peace
What is she hoping for
death

She is *empty from being beat down numerous times...
Who cares about her...
                                                          ­                                                                 ­ ...for all we know she's *gone
