Smile, You're on Camera

Location

A smiling face
All laughter and joy
Everything pushed
behind a closet door
Because no one should see
what lies inside my brain
The sun is gone
its cold and rainy
And then they would hear
just that little bit of screaming
its not demons or
monsters
just a small child
hunched in a corner
she turns around
blood pours from
her throat
its ragged from the screaming
Ouside the sun is bright
a smiling face
All laughter and joy
everything shoved
behind the closet door
