Who Would Have Guessed

by Courtney Lynn   Jan 27, 2008


She hasn't laughed in so long
Look at her now,
could you tell?

By the way she's standing there
so strong.
Who would have guessed,
somewhere back things had gone wrong.

She hasn't smiled an honest smile
Until just some days ago.
Fake smiles as real as life

Who would have guessed
that this girl, finally realized
that she really is alright.

Who would have guessed
that this girl, this daughter, this dreamer, this friend
has been walking with her eyes closed, falling, tripping, again and again.

Who would have guessed
that she would stand here like this
A smile so true, with love and bliss.
This girl herself could have sworn
that forever and more she would live torn.

She smiles, she laughs,
and she turns away,
who would have guessed
that this girl has been everything but okay.
