she graced the world with her smile

and hid her tears all the while

she wiped her eyes and inhaled deep 

her mind not stopping when she went to sleep

her soul soothed others, to numb her own pain

her thoughts a circus inside her brain

in the eyes of others, she seemed real strong 

but amongst the happy faces, she didnt belong

her thoughts wandered on to dangerous places 

she knew she was one of those unusual cases 

her heart felt too much, too much to bare 

and those people she loved didn't seem to care

but everyday she'd move along

with her head held high, and her heavy heart strong
