Smiles Lie

She walks in school music blasting. Her friends come up to her she smiles and they begin to talk. Conversation goes on for what seems to be an eternity. They laugh and do ridiculous jokes with each other. It's a moment that appears to be something you will remember for a long time something so perfect. Look at how happy these kids are together you would think. Yet do you know that for sure? What about her? She is the one who isn't okay. She laugh she smiles but her heart is broken. She's always fine she's always okay to everyone because no one can see behind the mask. She puts it up everyday but if u look closely her eyes are red from a night of crying. Even if you ask her what's wrong she shrug it off say it's allergies. She doesn't want to bother people with her insignificant problems. There nothing...she tells herself all the time. She wants to get help she wants support but she has become so used to the fake smiles that it comes naturally. She feels temporarily happy for the moment with her friends while the mask covers up for everything that had happened before. She forgets in that moment but it always comes back. No one knows her enough to help or maybe they don't care. She doesn't even have to try to look happy anymore it just happens since she's done it so many times. If only it was that easy to be naturally happy...

*Make someone's day! Don't let them suffer inside be there to ask what's wrong and be there to talk it makes a difference.*
