Behind Her Smile

 

Behind her smile

Is a girl who feels worthless

but strives to be worthy

 

Is a girl who feels unloveable

but wants to be loved

 

Is a girl who feels ugly

but wants to be pretty

 

Behind her smile

Are great feelings of sadness

 

Not being good enough

Stupid

Uncaring

Unkind

 

Behind her smile

Is a girl reaching desperately for life

not knowing if she wants to live

 

Behind her smile

Is pain, sadness

and lingering hope for the future

 

Behind her smile

Is just a girl...

Yeah, me too. All I can ever manage is doggerel...good for Xmas cards and crackers, but hardly profound. eyes

But I suppose poetry, like dignity, lies not in the words, but in the soul. Either way, Terri B., you have it. yeah
