She hopes they notice
She was smiling like she's doing fine,laughing like her whole life is a big joke,
living everyday like it was her last.
She looks pretty strong on the outside
and that's what everyone thought, too --
she's strong and brave and fearless.
But she's not.
She's more vulnerable than what others think.
There's more to her life
than her smile, her laugh,
her carefree living.
Behind her facade
is a broken heart and a thousand tears
few have noticed,
a lot have chosen not to notice.
She's mostly not okay,
mostly questioning her life,
wondering so many what ifs.
She isn't strong,
she isn't brave,
she isn't fearless,
because the truth is,
she's scared that she's weak.
She's afraid of her future,
she keeps shutting out her past,
and she's holding back with her present.
She's scared that she's never enough,
that people would stop caring,
and she'd be alone all over again.
She's tired, worn-out
of people always taking her for granted,
of people who always leave her hanging and shattered,
of people who never sees her worth.
She chose to hide what she feels,
because she's afraid that people will use it against her.
She's afraid that if they find out how broken she is,
they'd choose to break her even more.
She has so many fears she chose not to show,
but she hopes that those who claim
to truly care for her,
will notice even without her saying.
