Story of a Girl

I promise everyday I will not fail, For my eyes will tell you a very deep tale. A story about a girl lost in this life, Hoping and praying for a little light. It all began at an early age, Unsure of what was on the next page. She walked the road of uncertainty, Even though the ending was blurry. Head held high with her chin in the air, With a pain in her chest she couldn't bare. But still she walked with such pride, Everyday she always tried. Weakness wasn't an option in her mind, For she still had herself to find. Everyone she met she had them fooled, The pain she felt kept her fueled. If they just took the time, I swear this isn't a crime. Just take a few seconds from your day, Ask this stranger if she is okay. In this moment you'll hear a sigh of relief, This is something she couldn't believe. One by one the tears fall from her face, Each one representing a memory she can't erase. In silence she stares you in the eyes, Rummaging in her head looking for a lie. "These tears are tears of joy", She spits out quickly to the young boy. Palms sweaty with a fast beating heart, Where to begin where does she start. Caught off guard she studders in fear, In a moment she hadn't pictured for years. Pulling herself together piece by piece, This isn't the time to break the peace. So here comes the smile, The one she purposely rehearsed meanwhile.   But still to this day, She is convinced she will never be okay.
