The Truth Inside

Outside she's beautiful to everyone always polite, always the brave one but inside nobody notices she's screaming for help. Outside she's lying, inside the girls bathroom stall she is hiding clutching the door closed as she starts crying. Outside she's smiling all of her friends don't have any clues that her long sleeved shirts cover up the cuts and the bruises. Outside she acts fine like nothing is wrong but inside she's dying everything is wrong. Outside her face shines Inside she's fading fast Outside she acts fine Inside soon she won't last. She's just denying everything to everyone She's just trying not to mess up anyone's fun. She deals with it herself why bother someone else this is her problem nobody needs to know. So outside she shows her friends a familiar face, not like her inside a wasteland of an emotional state The cuts bleed through her sweater's her depression acts up more and more Finally she breaks down, her face gets red but she just can't take it anymore. she confesses everything that's going on and everyone reacts with a shock on there face something that's been happening to a girl they knew all this time, all this pain inside her place. Outside her face shines Inside she's fading fast Outside she acts fine Inside soon she won't last. She's just denying everything to everyone She's just trying not to mess up anyone's fun.
