Front


On the outside,

You see "Pride"

You see a smile at the mouth,

But sadness in the eyes,

Body language should give it away,

for her, it doesnt,

She's seen as the perfect teenage girl,

But at home she feels so small,

No matter how she feels,

Feelings do not surface,

theres hurt in every little crevise, 

Pain like never before begins to boil,

She cannot Handle the thoughts,

Make it go away,

She can't, 

It's a matter of time,

before she falls apart,

completely unwilling
