A Beautiful Lie She tries to hide the pain behind a smile, but the tears expose her deception. She utters the phrase 'I'm fine' when the scars on her wrists tell a different story. The look in her eyes is so contradictory to the words spilling off her tongue. The lies keep tripping over each other as she tries to survive to tomorrow. She'll stare at him for hours, trying to get him to notice her. She bores her eyes into his skull, hoping he'll see how much pain she's in. When that eventually fails, she excuses herself just so she can cry alone. She'll just sit on the floor and wonder why she isn't good enough for him. Why can't she look like the other girls, with the tiny waists and pretty eyes? Why doesn't anyone seem to think of her as the beautiful one, or even the pretty one? She'll continue to cry until her eyes are dry and her sobs fade into the empty air. She'll soon pick herself up off the ground, and leave her soul behind as she exits. The non truths will continue through the rest of the day, and when she gets home, her tears will come back (with a vengeance) The next day, the same story plays on, mimicking a song on repeat. One day, she'll be fed up with her sickness and decide it's not worth the pain anymore. Right before the lights go out, she finally sees him smile her way She thinks 'Maybe it is worth the pain, just as long as I get to see that boy smile.'
