Never a tear when she cried
No one’s happiness she destroyed
She was happy, they said

Behind closed doors
A different story

Never shared her empty feelings
No attempts for help
She smiled

Behind the perfect smile
Only sadness

No longer here
Friends affected
Family torn

Silence and an unwinding smile
Screams for help
Never forgotten
