Wonder

In her head she wonders
what people think when they see her.
do they suspect her arms are scarred?
do they know her secret?
do they question the long sleeves?
do they know it's all a lie?
can they see through the fake smile?
do they see the pain in her eyes?

or do they not realize
her fake smile, her clever lies
the plastic mask, scarred arms
that she hides behind pain filled eyes?

outside she appears alive
but inside her soul is dead
