The Broken One


There she stands in the glistening sun.

Beautiful as ever.

Making everyone laugh and smile

Cause that heart is made of pure gold.

 

But there are demons inside her 

Making her feel like a burden.

 

That smile of hers is making you smile.

She's free and careless

Saying the stupidest things

But it's making you smile.

 

That smile hides all of her worries

Because she's been told to hide her feelings all her life.

 

All her friends admire her.

She's a special light in their dark worlds.

Always there for them

Because she cares deeply for others.

 

But you notice she will never talk about herself

Because she thinks her problems aren't imporant.

 

Surrounded with people

She always seems happy.

Making them smile and laugn

With no care to the world.

 

On the outside she's always surrounded by people

but on the inside she's constantly lonely.

 

At the end of the day she's an energetic ball

Making people love her.

She gives that energy to others

And makes them happy.

 

Though once she's alone the tears will come.

Until she finally falls asleep.

 

Will you love her?

Beautiful as ever,

But hiding many demons.

Will she EVER be loved?
