She Lived a Happy Life

​She cries to live,
She smiles to give
Lost in the world of
“I’m fine.” When she’s not.
 
Dead inside,
Yet so alive.
Lost in the delusion of
“Everything’s okay.” When it’s not.
 
Others feed off of her light
Leaving her with the darkness.
Lost in the circus mirrors of
“I don’t need help.” When she desperately does.
 
One day she gave it up,
Letting everyone see the real her.
They were lost in the illusion of
“She’s so perfect.” When she wasn’t.   
 
Help a friend or two today.
It’ll make them smile inside.
