Hiding Behind the Smile

Its a mask. She wears it so others can't see the pitiful broken person she's become. It says she's ok, but in the echos of her mind, she knows she's not. People flash by. They walk on with their lives, never noticing the girl with the mask. She holds her secrets, buried deep inside her, hidden in the crimson folds of her past. The mask says she's brave. Inside she wonders if she has a choice. She wonders if she lets the tears spill and shows how lost she is, will anyone care. Will anyone care? Thats what it all comes down to.
