There Once Was a Girl

There was once a girl A very kind girl That smile could brighten and lift up your world But the girl had a secret The smile was fake The kind was a lie She was dying inside Her depression eating her alive She cried out a storm Only to show a rainbow Until she had enough and she let go And everyone asked And pondered and why'd Why did the happy girl die?

This is very sad, yet this does happen when they do not confront their issues and pretend everything is alright. Good message here.
