Can you not please anyone?
Are you not good enough?
Why do you lay awake alone in bed at night?
Why is it that you cry alone?
She stares in the mirror
asking questions of herself
for which she has no answer.
She peers at the distorted
version of her true self
helpless as the tears roll down her cheeks.
She adorns her lips with bright color.
Wipes the tears from her eyes.
Fixes her hair, her clothes, her smile.
She steps out into the world alone
and hides her pain away.
Only her eyes giving glimpses of her sorrow
to those who never care to look.
