She does nothing but stand there,
Watching as everyone does nothing but stare.
She quickly covers her face and walks the other way,
Not wanting to know what awaits her if she were to stay.
Everyday, it is that same routine.
She covers her arms so her scars can never be seen.
She looks in the mirror and tears fall from her eyes,
Wishing that her reflection was nothing but lies.
She tries to convince herself that everything will be okay,
And that all her troubles will just go away.
Even though she knows that for her, there is no hope,
She continues to smile and never seems to mope.
If only she could be as strong as she seems to be,
Maybe at last she would be free.
But the battle in her head is one she can never win.
For the monsters deep inside watches as she suffers with a big grin.
