The "Bubbly" Girl

Isn't it strange,

That when a "bubbly" person is hurt,

Everyone detects it?

"What's wrong?"

"Are you ok?"

The dreaded, inevitable questions.

"Nothing's wrong."

"I'm fine."

Did you really expect the truth?

Usually, if a "bubbly" girl is hurt,

She has a reason,

A good one.

People never understand why,

They don't realize she desires privacy,

If it shows, she's too stressed to bother with her facade.

Thats a sign of her weakness,

People try to take advantage of it.

Firing meanlingless questions to get the "gossip."

When she is like this,

She will speak very little,

To only a few select people.

Eventually, the mood will pass.

She may not recover fully,

But she will hide it.

Once it has faded enough,

She will put on a brave face,

And will once again be the "bubbly" girl.

You may be this girl,

You may know this girl,

You may think I'm not serious.

I know this is true.

I've been through this.

I am that "bubbly" girl.
