Behind her smile 
There is tears. 
Tears you will never see.
She hides them from the world,
So they do not see her weakness. 
Alone and suffering 
None can help. 
Darkness is her light. 
The sun never shines,
Because to her there is no reason. 
She only dreams of being freed of her past. 
A dream she will never see. 
She knows that hope
Leads to disappointment. 
No one can see the lies in her eyes
When she claims she is alright. 
But that is not what she is. 
Alone and weak,
She will not let you in. 
No need to let someone feel that pain. 
No need to drag more innocent souls down.
