My smile is fake

But people can't tell

A picture is just a flash

That captures one second

And A laugh

last only a moment.

People say I have

A beautiful smile

And lively eyes

But I am hiding

I hide behind laughter

Jokes

And false smiles

Your eyes fool you.

People say Im

Full of life

Yet I feel dead

No matter what I do

My heart feels empty

Void of anything that is not pain.

People say I am warm

But really Im cold

My lips white

My breath mist in the air

It hurts to breath

I am cold

I am empty, alone,

Angry, and sad.

I also am ignored,

Yelled at, lost, forgotten.

And sometimes I think I would be better remembered if I was just a memory...

A small flicker

In the back of your mind.

The memory of the girl who's eyes would light up when she smiled,

the girl who was so full of life,

the girl who was ignored by her family hated by her brother,

Or perhaps,

The girl who's smile only lasted a second but made a memory in time.

Your eyes fool you

Behind my smile

Is a crying, sad,

And lonely little girl

She tries her best but still is 2 steps behind.

My smile is bright

But it still hides whats inside...
