They see her smiling.
what they don't see
is a tear-stained face.
She cries herself to sleep.
They see good parents.
She sees a fight coming.
they see her as perfect.
she is the reason they aren't,
she holds everyone back.
no one else. just her.
they see her as confident.
her self-esteem is lower than low.
they see no pain.
she has scars to prove them wrong.
Last of all,they see her living.
but inside,not that far,
she is slowly killing herself.
