She

She is crying
But you can not see
Because she burst out into
Spontaneous laughter
Covering up the pain she feels
She is happy
But you cannot tell
Because she acts like it is a normal day
worried that this happiness will not last
She is sad
But you do not notice
Because she covers it up with anger
Not wanting the fat crocodile tears to fall from her face
She is angry
this you can see
Because it's the only emotion
She allows herself to feel
It help keeps the walls up
The nightmares away
She is insecure
But it doesn't matter
You pick on her anyway
And the teacher called her fat
So she stops eating for a day
She is tired
But the bags under her eyes
are concealed by a smile
She wears to keep you happy
She has scars
She tries to cover up
But they will never go away
Reminding her of a past that just wants to be forgotten
This girl doesn't exist
She covers herself up
So you do not see her pain
She lies with a straight face
Because it is becoming hard to tell
Reality from the truth
This is she
And she becomes her
Until her slowly
fades into nothing
