On the outside she smiles

Her bright happy Cheshire smile

That's all you see

You don't look inside

I think its because your scared

Because inside is the real her

First there is pain

A pain that can both liberate and trap her

Next there is sorrow

Such a deep sorrow

One that even she is to frightened to further explore

Next there is Lonleyness

For she feels all alone in this big world

Further down there is Anger

Such a strong hateful anger

at herself, the world, but mostly herself

Then there is fear

Fear of what she's become

So terrifying it must be for her to feel all this

Yet have no one to turn to

Finally there is the Darkness

the darkness that is slowly consuming her

this is what is the most terrifying of all not the emotions

its the  numbing Darkness beneath

When the darkness takes over she feels less broken

But far more empty

And yet all you see is her façade

You fail to see past my false

Cheshire Smile

And as long as I assure you I'm fine

You'll never see that I will never

Be truelly fine again

So in the end me and my Cheshire smile

Will forever have our  love hate relationship

But yet well never stop

And you'll never see past my façade

My perfectly happy

Cheshire Smile
