i know of a girl
do u know of her too?
she seems quite strong
so no one has a clue
she's weak inside
cold
hearltess
she can't breath at times
almost like she's choking
i watch her everyday
and it amazes me how no one sees
i can't stop thinking about her
and of all the pain, that seems to be
i use to admire her
with all her smiles and laughs
but then i looked deeper
and relized she was wearing a mask
her smiles are frowns, her laughs - silent cries
her friendships are weak, but they seem to last
her family - all blinded
by the mask i once knew
but now i see the sad horrible  truth
not beauty or joy
only sorrow
pain
and a deep darkness
its saddens me, just to watch her in pain
so i try to get closer, try to see her beauty again
i start to approach her, with a friendly smile
i want to help her, but dont know how
i call out her name, to get her attention
but she won't answer
so i get closer, to see her face to face
but she's ignoring me, looking towards the sky
i catch a glimpse of her once beautiful brown eyes
and then at that moment i came to realize
the girl we've been speaking of, the one thats sad
- is nothing like me
but we are one and the same
please someone explain why i was so blinded to see....

Trina, it is human nature to own several maskes, we simply have to learn to control the negative ones...mind over matter....

this was wonderfully penned and a perfect example of what we inherit, does not have to be....

Hugs to you
