Her Little Secret

Nobody knows she cries at night
She wouldn't tell you if you asked
Her emotions overflow
Of present, future & past
She'll pretend she's fast asleep
While the tears start to fall
But it's her little secret so nobody knows
She'll stay hidden behind these walls
Piece by piece
It all falls down
She is no princess
She wears no crown
She's no angel either
No halo to be seen
In her eyes she's nothing
Just a shattered dream
The one whose best
Was never enough
But she'd just Fake a smile
And pretend she was tough
It's still her little secret
And she'd run a mile
To make sure all anybody gets to see
Is that pretty, flawless smile.
