A person can hide so much behind a smile

On the outside, she smiled,

but a smile can hide thousands of things:

She lost her whole family.

She gets bullied at school.

She is skinny, but she feels fat.

She is beautiful, but she feels ugly.

Everyone laughs at her,

Only because of her clothes.

She has to cry herself to sleep,

because her foster parents treat her like crap.

Her foster dad rapes her now and then,

but she is weakless against him,

she is afraid of what would happen if she fights back.

She wants a friend,

Someone to talk to,

someone she can trust,

but she has no one.

She only has herself.

She has a beautiful smile,

but everyone ruins it.

Everyone crushes her hopes, her dreams.

She has a wish.

Her wish is:

To have a nice family, a nice friend, and a happy life.
