There's a girl that you know whose life seems so perfect,
She's popular, pretty and smart.
She's got everything you thought you could want,
Good grades, good friends and the guys.
But what you dont see is what you dont look for,
The pain behind her beautiful brown eyes.

What you dont see is the lies and the hurt,
Received for so many years.
These lies and deceit from her quote on quote peers.
These peers she thought were her true friends,
but left her standing alone in the end.
They'd use her then leave her, then use her again.

This girls was afraid to show how she felt,
She said,"oh they are still my friends, they dont mean any harm.They simply need my help."
So she helped them with kindness and said not a word of what she truely felt.

Away from middle school,
and in her freshman year,
The girl seems to be doing quite well.
She puts on a smile,and shows her new friends,
none of her pain from the past.
She just thinks to herself,"Dont do what you did last year,DONT always help. Dont let them do that again."

So the girl goes on still,
Being as nice as can be,
And she helps whomever may need it.
She uses her friends,her grades and her beauty,
To hide the pain and the hurt,
and how she's used to being treated.

pammy, so many of us do not reveal who we really are, we hide within and may never come out, I believe that this is more a story of life than just of the girl, I think the good people hide it and the bad use it, though it should not be bad to be truthful, honesty can hurt and often does.

I enjoyed this write very much, it touched me within, saddened but relieved that others feel the same.

Have a lovely day pammy, great write, take care my friend.

Sincerely
Rick

Thanks for sharing this...It seems that people so often don't look at who a person really is, just what they look like. Its sad.

By writing this you

Any words will seem trite

You are writing in a place that understands, supports and develops an ability to write that frustration has hidden for years.

We, who want to be individuals, are not part of the herd, and a price is paid.
