Look closely

If you look closely at her

you can see that,

she turns away from her group of friends

her smile falters

and she becomes a different person for a few seconds

a sad person,

a person who is broken and damaged,

and after a few depressing seconds,

she goes back to the group

and she almost looks like she's actually happy

but if you look closely

you can see how spurious her smile really is

and you can see all the wreakage behind her smile.
