Silence in the Tears

She wears that smile on her face
to distract from the sadness in her eyes

She worries about the well being of her friends
to distract from the truth of her own.



She listens to the problems of others
as it serves from an escape of her own

She lies down at night crying
silent tears that no one knows.

She drops subtle hints when she loses it
but then puts it back under control

She runs away from the smothering emptiness
to find anything to fill the void

She fights herself, hides the visible scars
has a million excuses as to which way and how

She never explains, never tells, what is on her mind
she doesn't feel that anyone would listen

She works to forget the pain inside
and focuses on her giving

Quickly wipes the tears when someone asks
anything bout her personal well being
and changes the subject to something else
she's just a girl, though she tries to fight
and tries to hide to a different world
a different place so she's not her own
perhaps this way she won't be alone
perhaps this way the tears won't be so loud
as they silently roll down her face.

Just need an escape from her head and mind
So she goes back to her present time

and does the best that she knows how
to eliminate the future...

She lies on the floor, in a hidden corner
crying silent tears into the night.
