And The Award Goes To..

You see the smile of a girl,
so sweet and innocent,
little do you know,
what really lies beneath.

She hates going to school,
hearing hurtful words from her peers,
sending her home everyday in tears.
Still this girl puts on an act like
everything's okay,
shes been doing this for years,
but it's different today.

You see today she lost someone she loved so dear,
it was her dad, she just couldn't put up
this act anymore, today she was just too sad.
She feels so alone, and doesnt seem to care,
life to her just hasn't been fair.

Still she's afraid to let anyone in or show them who she really is,
so she'll continue on this act for as long as she lives.
It's her fathers funeral today and it's starting to rain,
broken, hurt, depressed, a girl full of pain.
Yet she refuses to cry, no emotion on her face,
staring with a blank expression, staring into space.

Bravo she did it, no one can see her pain,
especially since shes crying alone in the rain.
People walking past her, saying how sorry they are,
she wants her dad more then ever, but now
he's just too far.

She'll continue on with her life, wearing a smile that fools so many people,
she'll say everything is okay when her worlds falling apart,
if only you can see the pain, the scars on her heart.

And the award goes to this girl,
she fooled them all,
for many years she's
put up a wall.
Knowing that once she
lets someone in,
no more hiding behind
her sacred grin.
