Inside

I know she may not smile at home.
I know in public she smiles.
But if someone would just please....

Please look pass the painted smile on her face.
Look inside..
Inside is a girl...
A girl who is dying and screaming.

Look where she lives.
Bottles litter the living room...
Kitchen...
dining room...

Look in her room please..
In her room is bloodied bandages.
on her desk is razors stained in blood.

Hurry up please!
look outside where her brother is hanging...

Look in her eyes!
In her eyes..
show a story.

In her eyes.
Her eyes... are dead.

Some...one
...Please...
