She's so euphoric,
And always smiling.
I've never seen her cry,
Or show a sign of pain.

She must have her life together,
All the pieces in their places,
Everything aligned eloquently.
No doubt she's doing great,
Right?

Wrong.
Her euphoria is a mirage,
A mask, a facade, a kalopsia.
The pain is blurred and smeared,
Until it looks nothing like reality.

Instead it is a smile,
So fake it leaves her numb,
To the point she forgot what it's like,
To be really truly happy.
