She Hides Behind Her Smile

She hides behind her smile
everyone sees it
but they don't see her hurt
her pain
her frustration
and as time goes by
she fades away
she fades into the darkness
the darkness within her sorrow
the outer beauty is all people see
her inner beauty fades
everyday is a struggle
a struggle to keep going
to be strong
and to use her fake smile
and as days go by
she gets weaker
she contemplates suicide
and tells herself she is ugly
she feels this way
inside and out
and this is why
she hides behind her smile
