• I am the girl who always smiles,
    and the one who cries inside.

    You see me smiling all the time.
    I cry silently so you keep thinking that nothing's wrong.

    I laugh at your jokes, and you walk away believing my lie.
    I run home as fast as I can, knowing Im about to break.

    The schedule is always the same; school, then home.
    Smiling and wishing to die.

    The reason for my smile is the same one for my tears,
    No matter how hard I try,

    I. Am. Alone.

    No, you would never know.
    Because my lies are perfect.

    How could you ever hope to see through them?
    Some days, I think you almost see through my smile...some days...I think it would be best if you could..

    But you are the reason for my tears.
    The reason for my smile.

    You are the sole reason I desire to lie.
    So that you do not know the pain you put me through.

    Take a second look at my smile. Can you see the ghost of the river that runs past it?

    Does it..seem so real to you now?

    I am the girl who is always crying,
    but is smiling on the outside.
