Painted to hide

Everyday
she paints in her notebook

everyday
she paints a smile
one that is so unique
it makes people gather round
a smile that is so real
she can disappear

everyday
she paints a little girl
with no bruises
inside or out
a little girl that doesn't have
blood on her arms
or tears in her eyes

everyday
she paints friends
who don't deprive her from happiness
instead they actually help her
they keep her head held high

everyday
she paints a family
one without a alcoholic dad
one without a druggie for a mother
and one without siblings who...
ruin her body

everyday
she paints...
she paints...
and she paints
the dreams
the fake
and the real love
things that she wish will happen
and things from beyond
