Look At Her

by Kayla Sonya Dearing   Feb 5, 2005


Look at her smile
Look at the way she laughs
Look in her eyes
Do they show pain?

Her eyes are full of sorrow
Her eyes are full of pain
Her eyes are full of hidden tears
Her eyes are full of sadness

Her folks works non stop
Her friends turn their back on her
Her life is full of money
Her life is full of gifts

People say she can have anything she wants
People say she's very lucky
People say that she has everything
People say they envy her.

She stays locked up in her room
She cries day and night when she's alone
She sometimes wonders if she has true friends

As she lays crying
She takes a knife to her hand
She cutes her hand deep
She watches the blood flow from her hand

She lays crying
Blood flowing on her bed sheets
She wonders why she can't be happy
She wonders if she has the right to be sad.

She goes through life
Feeling like the world is her enemy
Feeling like she doesn't have a true friend
Feeling like she's going through life all alone.

She wishes that she could be with her family
She wishes that her life was happy
She wishes that someone would take the pain way
She wishes that someone wouldn't turn their back on her and become her friend.

She covers her cuts that she made
She hides the tears with a smile
She hides the sorrow with the love that she yearns for.
She hides herself away from the world to keep herself safer.

Look at her smile
Look at the way she laughs
Look in her eyes
Do they show the sorrow?

    I like the questions you pose to the reader, also the build up to them. They reflect the images and opinions in ones heart, a facade of sorts. Well done on a great write girl.
