beneath the surface

A Story by CountryInside

just some random story my mind kept repeating in my sleep.

She is the face with no expression, drowning in a sea of smiles, no one ever notices ‘cause she’s been fading for so long now. She’s the invisible, the darkest soul they know ‘cause happiness is a feeling she has never shown.

Her pale skin displays all the scars in her heart, but she has started hiding, now she knows that it’s smart. Most of all she wants to tell them everything, scream it in their faces, paint a picture in their mind, and write her store straight into their heart.

They only see the surface; they don’t even see the cracks, if they just did they’d see she wasn’t all like that.
