The Other Side

If you looked at this girl
You would never see
All of her pain
And misery.
She doesn’t let it show
But it never goes away
It follows like her shadow
Each and every day.

She pushes it all down
And puts a smile on her face.
All of that changes though
When it’s night time at her place.
She cries herself to sleep
Every single night
She stays like this until the sun
Reemerges with it’s light.
