The pain hit her, like a dagger in her heart
And therefore her eyes were shining
But she swallowed her tears instead

Her eyes were filled with teardrops
But her tears weren't prepared to fall
So her heart decided to weep for her
And the girl chose to smile instead
Despite all the sorrow she bore inside

At all times, she wore her mask
Not a person was allowed to discover
Her secret would be hers for ever

Nevertheless, whenever she was alone
Her mask was secretly broken
And her tears streamed down her face
Until they fall apart reaching the floor
Or till the tears perish on her lips

Her tears slowly slid along her cheeks
As she attempted to soothe herself
But her thoughts wouldn’t fade away

The following day she puts on her mask
And the girl decides to smile again
Even though her heart is weeping
In spite of the sorrow she bears inside
She chooses to smile instead

But deep inside she has always known
One day her secret would be discovered
Still, she’ll not dread, till the time has come
