This One Girl

I know this one girl
She hides behind her big smile
She makes her self seem brave and strong
But on the inside she is crying
She doesn't show how much shes hurting
She bottles up all her feelings
But how can you not see the hurt in her eyes
How can you not see how much shes dyeing inside
The reason is she has blockaded herself
She makes you believe that shes ok
She doesn't let you get too close to her so you can see
She keeps herself away
One day she'll be ok
One day her smile will be true
One day she'll let you in
But today is not the day
