If you look at her closely
You can see that
Every now and then
She turns away from her group of friends
Her smile falters
And she becomes another person for a few seconds
A sad person
A person who is broken and damaged
And after a few seconds,
She goes back to the group
Smiling and joking around
She almost looks like she is actually happy
But if you look closely
You can see how fake her smile is
And you can see all the wreckage behind her fake smile.
