"She masks her Pain,In a glorious Veil.
A veil so thick,nothing gets through it.
She wasn't always like this,
The girl i once knew.
She was chirpy,bright and always smiled.
Smiled so wide,it felt unrealistic,
To see someone so happy,
All the time!
She was always childish,is what people said.
Nothing would make her change,is what she said.
She meant it,when she said it.
But who knew,fate had other plans brewing.
She was hit by a storm,on a late summers eve.
The girl i once knew,didn't seem the same to me.
She changed slowly and then all at once.
It was a transformation,no one ever thought of.
'Did change have to knock at my doorstep this way',she yelled out loud.
'Did i deserve this pain',she bawled to the crowd.
She knew she'd never be the same.
She knew this was a big change.
She masked her pain,with a gorgeous smile.
A smile so fake,it stayed there for a while.
And while she kept convincing the world,
That "everything is alright,i'm fine!"
At night she'd lay in bed and cry.
It killed her day by day,inside.
She knew that she was living a lie.
She felt that this was just existence.
'A life worth living?' ,is what she questioned.
The girl who loved the rain once,
Hated the sight of the slightest drizzle.
And when her brave smile couldn't take it,
she sat under the shower and waited.
Waited for it to become audible enough,
So that no one outside could hear her bawl in pain.
The cold water gushed at her with ease.
Hitting her skin,not so gently.
She let the water hit her,
While she gasped for air.
And kept thinking over and over again.
"Did i do the right thing,by not giving up?"
"Did i do the wrong thing,by trying to live it up?"
Her mind and heart,were in constant battle.
And there her smile kept faking it a little longer.
This powerful veil,kept getting stronger.
Her sorrows and pains,weren't staying longer.
She longed to smile, and feel the rain.
But the veil was so powerful,it wouldn't fade away."
