See that girl in the corner?

She looks happy, right?

She has a lot of friends,

A good life,

A family who loves her.

But if you stare into her eyes long enough

You'll see a fire

A burning rage

Something unlike any other.

If you get to know her,

You won't see a fire

You'll see a frozen lake

Trapping tons of emotions below.

You get to know her,

You'll realize

She doesn't know why,

But she is covering

Sadness

And despair.

Sometimes,

The ice breaks

And she falls into the broken lake

Where her darkest thoughts lay.

Sometimes,

Flowers bloom around the frozen lake

Full of happiness

Laughter

And joy.

But snow falls

And she thinks

Why?

Why am I like this?

Why am I not happy?

Why don't I deserve it?

Do you see that girl in the corner?

Still think she looks happy?
