A Smile.

I can see through the disguise,
A smile that doesn't reach the eyes,
Eyes hurt and betrayed by complex lies,
Eyes of sorrow full of unspent cries,

The disguise so strong no one would see,
Apart from I, for that person is me,
But the disguise has gone and I am free,
I'm growing new branches like the springtime tree,

No more sorrow no more pain,
No more internal grief driving me insane,
Nothing to loose so much to gain,
I'm at the fork in the road and I'm taking the other lane,

My eyes will not hide,
The pain I felt inside,

My heart will be on my sleeve,
I'm giving the disguise a reprieve,

I was the girl with the smile,
That didn't reach her eyes for a while,
That girl got her moment and her trial,
She stopped living in regret and worthless denial,

She's moving towards happier times,
Many a mountain she's been made to climb,

Now she's at the very peak,
The future is bright no longer bleak,
Her resolve is strong no longer weak,
She has found her voice her ability to speak,

The night no longer casts its shadow,
No longer pierces her heart like a poison arrow,

The darkness is no longer dark it's light,
The stars shine through her window so bright,

The sun rises once its set,
It's rays the strongest you could get,
She's healing but not completely yet,
She'll move on but will never forget,

I was the girl who's smile,
Didn't reach my eyes for a while,

Now they're smiling like never before,
A promise of the future a path I won't ignore.
