 There was a girl.

Always smiling,laughing and joking.

People loved her,

Adored her.

worshipped her.

But they didn't know the truth.

They didn't see her real face.

They just knew her mask.

The mask she used to disguise her true feelings.

Her emotions.

She wasn't happy.

She wasn't smiling.

She wasn't laughing.

No.

She was crying, because the smile couldn’t reach her eyes.

She was sobbing, because her laugh didn't sound real.

She was screaming, because nothing felt right.

She was drowning, because she didn't know where she belonged.

She felt abandoned.

She felt alone.

She felt desperate, because her mind and heart didn't play together.

She felt disappointed,because no one saw through her act.

She felt sad ,because the people around her didn't realise,

that behind the smile, sat a girl,

 with a broken mind.
