Listen please

To the tale I tell

Of a sweet little girl

And how often she fell

But she refused

To feel tears and cry

So instead she hid

Smiling, a lie

Bubbly, happy

Always called naive

She never wanted others

To understand and grieve

If she could be strong

They wouldn't have to

Suppressing her fears

Do whatever for you

Sometimes sad

But smiling still

She's always hidden

With quite a strong will

Help other people

To distract and truly feel

She holds them tight

So they know a love that's real

There's nothing wrong

With a broken heart

Or a broken soul

Or another broken part

They are beautiful, she thinks

And they all desire love

They shouldn't get more pain

Though others often shove

She's not naive

Just prefers the light

Because hidden in the dark

Are the demons she will still fight

So any bit of peace

She'll take if allowed

Because it doesn't come often

As she's always got a crowd

If she lets you know

The storm trapped inside

Hold her close

In your arms she has cried

She too is broken

But no one can know

So the smile returns

As she continues the show
