What is behind this smile I have been staring at for a while?
She seems so happy and care free, she truly is a beauty.
Eyes of gray, skin of ivory, hair of chocolate, lips of rose.
who could misjudge such a face? those who do are a meaningless disgrace.
I would like to reach out and comfort her, she looks so sad behind that smile.
She has never once been truly happy, smile and carefree.
She was always stiff and worried about everything.
never letting her guard down for just a moment.
She never thought she was pretty not once, but she never told anyone that.
She hid in her room and put makeup on to cover the flaws no one could see.
not once did she think highly of herself, not once did she look in your eyes,
not once did she notice you, not once did she not cry herself to sleep.
one time she did wish for a cure, one time she did long to be normal.
She is a butterfly swimming in a field of gray, trapped in this world so dull.
never to find her true purpose but to be that spark of color in the world of gray.
she wants to be set free, explore the depths of the sea.
be known that there are other colours waiting to be seen.
she doesn't want to be known for her true colours, afraid of what others might see, she wants to be known for her outward beauty, not the gentle heart that has been guarded by a cage of stone, she would like to be someone else, be the girl everyone would admire. so she hid under the cloak and never showed her true colours to a world filled with gray, soon that girl died, all her innocence swept away, she now knew that the world is not so gray, but it is black, blacker that the depth of their hearts. she hid under the cloak, fearing that the black would overcome her, and so she soon faded to gray, for the fear was to great, and the will to weak. and then she became just like everyone else, gray with hearts of stone, never going out of there comfort zones. ♥ - Dannie
