The tears run down her cheek
it's become a routine
she drags herself through the day
with a smile on her face
she waits until everyone's asleep
until no one can hear or see her
that's when her wall crumbles
it shatters like a fragile ornament
that rolled off the table
on the outside she's a normal girl
she's whole, she's happy
on the inside she's torn apart
she's broken, she's bleeding
she doesn't see the light
that's always at the end of the tunnel
she doesn't see the glass half full
she busies herself almost constantly
if she's busy the pain will stop
sitting still too long
pushes the glass in further
some days she's drowning
some days she's smiling
most nights she's broken
every time she thinks
she can escape the pain
it envelopes her tenfold
she just can't win.
