Her Smile


What is the first thing that you saw,

Was it her height or maybe her weight.

Did you notice how hoir was messy, but still neat.

Or maybe it was her smile, Yes, that smile that lights the whole room.

She has the smile that makes you want to smile back and get to know her.

But what you dont't know is that smile hides her pains and secrets.

She broken, very broken, yet she still has a smile to light the whole room. 

But what they don't know is that smile has a story.

From being raped at a young age and never feeling accepted.

She learned to smile through all the pain, when truly she was just empty and broken inside.

But that smile. Man that smile.

Makes everyone want to smile right back.
