It's All in a Day

Plans were made,
Plans that couldn't be changed

A day out with friends,
Playing dress up and pretend

A friend never seen,
Paired with another overly joyful

While the day is jubilant,
Just as the pairs shared smiles

Unfortunately underneath is a different story,

A practiced and perfected smile and laugh,
Thrown on her face before she leaves the house

The role played so often,
She hardly notices it herself

The only standing warning,
For this overcoming sensation

Is the lonesome feeling,
Despite being surrounded

The knowledge that something is wrong,
She should feel happy and loved at the days plans

Yet she still feels helpless and alone,
Sad and misunderstood.
