Pieces Of My Heart

Random

You are that girl
That girl that beams like sunshine at everyone down the hallway.
The one that doesn't fumble at speeches
That doesn't cry when she trips and skins her knee.
You are that girl that skips on the stairs and wishes everyone a good morning.
People must think you are the happiest girl in the world.
They are wrong
They don't know you cry yourself to sleep every night.
They don't know the hours you've spent screaming into the pillow
They don't know about that one time you punched a wall.
They don't know about all those scars you cover up with pantyhose.
They don't know that you woke up screaming thrice this week, frightened of a nightmare you'll never escape,
Because it's your reality.
