Expressing Me

Behind The Smile

A popular, fun loving, hyper girl,

All she wants is to do good,

Mistaken for an attention-seeker,

And always misunderstood.

Head cheerleader and girlfriend

Of the captain of the football team,

A smile printed on her face,

But she's not what she seems.

Yearning for someone who wants to talk,

Behind the smile is what truly lies.

Someone who will care for her problems,

Who knows the meaning to her cries.

Hidden in the barrier,

She's been building for years,

To block out the nightmares,

And to forget her fears.

No one but her,

Knows about the pain,

Everyone thinks

She's all about the fame.

Believe in what you truly see,

And not what you have overheard,

Help her when she needs it most,

Change her life into one she preferred.
