She forced a smile
a mask, a disguise
but underneath
it all crashed down
dark beneath the white blanket
she covered herself
with
she rolled around
under her scarred skin
she cried for a while
until her well of tears
ran dry
and the make-up she wore
streamed down her cheeks
she tried to look good
to look happy
but everything inside
was a messy blur
a tornado of emotions
