Plans were made,
Plans that couldn't be changedA day out with friends,
Playing dress up and pretendA friend never seen,
Paired with another overly joyfulWhile the day is jubilant,
Just as the pairs shared smilesUnfortunately underneath is a different story,
A practiced and perfected smile and laugh,
Thrown on her face before she leaves the houseThe role played so often,
She hardly notices it herselfThe only standing warning,
For this overcoming sensationIs the lonesome feeling,
Despite being surroundedThe knowledge that something is wrong,
She should feel happy and loved at the days plansYet she still feels helpless and alone,
Sad and misunderstood.
