Beneath The Secrets


They look so happy

So down right perfect

They never fight

Always smiling

What you can't see

Is something dark and scary

That perfect family

Is nearly broken

The parents fight

Almost every night

The daughter

Rebels all the time

If you could see

The pain they have

You wouldn't be angry

Of their perfect family
