She's at the bus stop again but this time she's not alone, she's with two other girls, they must be her friends. She's smiling and laughing at what they are saying but her eyes say otherwise.

I wonder if they see the pain in her eyes but they just choose to ignore it.
She's wearing very colourful clothes yellow, pink and purple. Who knew those colours would go together she definitely makes it work.

Does she know the colours she's wearing?
Has she ever gotten a good look it them, probably not she's devoid of colour, of anything happy. She says she doesn't deserve it and that being happy is a waste of time.

She is smart I'll admit.
Using colourful materials and wearing colourful clothes to hide the fact that she lives in a world that lacks colour, texture and joy.
Well it seems to be working because after all she is the sunshine of her school.
Smiley face they called her.

If only they knew.
