   I once came across a girl. So sweet and loving, fun and outgoing. She had a strength and grace she held herself with. However, there was a darkness to her. A lingering shadow latching onto her soul. She had indeed experienced pain, grief, loss, fear. She had had encounters with her demons but she had survived. I do not know of her battles, her struggles but I know she was stronger than she seemed and she masked her reality as expertly as possible, not letting on her worries or sorrows but instead wearing a smile to charm the world. Not many chose to examine the mask or sense the darkness latching onto the light. Maybe some did and perhaps chose to turn away from it or maybe their naive eyes were blinded from the reality of this girl.
