Pain
She puts on a mask it's smiling today
She puts on long sleeves to cover the pain
She hurries to class invisible to all
Her smile is fake to hide the truth
She bites her lip to hold back tears
No one knows what she really fears
Waking up in the morning
Becomes her biggest struggle
Wishing she could hide under the covers
Visions and voices crowd up her room
She can't dodge them anymore
She wants to cry
But learns to hold it in
Her life is fear. Her world is crashing. All she knows is pain.
