She is too happy to be this sad
Too young to know her pain
Too fragile to be this hurt
But still, she remains
I watch her as she hides it away,
Puts on her fake smile
She laughs and chats and jokes around,
But I know this will only last a while
I know what's going on at home
I think it makes her stronger
But all the hurt, the pain, the tears
Can't go on much longer
She's tried to take her life a few times,
Thankfully never succeeding
But still she cuts her delicate wrists
And covers up the bleeding
I wouldn't know what to say to her
So I just watch her from a distance,
Give her a smile in the hall,
Just so she knows I know of her existence.
