The pain behind that mask.
Beaming with smiles
Always ready to help
She listens so well
Thinking of others first
Yes. She was selfless
It was all just a mask
There were demons fighting.
Fighting to come to light
No one could feel the agony
Behind the mask.
People who saw the tears roll
Felt she overjoyed
"She shouldn't have a problem"
They had thought.
"But then, Heaven!"
Sure, she wouldn't see there if she killed.
She wanted peace
Eternal damnation is nowhere near it for sure.
Yet hurt and hatred
Strives to take all of her
Then, she thought
"Harm the tormentors!"
Jeez! She was turning eighteen soon
That will make her a convict
She didn't want that either.
She just wanted them to feel pain.
The pain she always felt and kept.
Kept to herself.
But how?!
She was helpless, hopeless.
Hurt, hatred creeping around her.
Happiness far from sight.
Not so soon though
She gave up the ghost
As the bottle dropped from her hand.
This peace she had never and always wanted.
Life is hard, you know.
But does suicide worth it?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
People will never believe she had had a hard, sad life.
