My Disguise

By Alaina Noelle O'Neill

Would you like to hear a secret,
Something you never knew,
A secret that's inside me,
It has been hard hiding it from you.

Do you see this smile,
So stretched upon my face,
My eyes are big and sparkling,
Everything seems in place.

I'll bet you don't know,
As I close my bedroom door,
There's something I've been hiding,
I let out as I fall to the floor.

More tears and more tears fall from my eyes
I don't mean to hide it
but Ms. Sunshine is my disguise
