You have a beautiful smile
That's what they said
So she smiled
Even when things got really bad
She hid her true feelings
Made the whole world oblivious
Yet she wondered why they didn't care
Even when everything was amiss
That same girl needed someone
But instead of worrying them all
She pushed a blade into her arm
And slowly the blood began to fall
No one saw her scars
They didn't notice her strain
But she went on smiling
Until she died to relieve the pain
