that girl...smiling in tears

i saw that girl smiling looking at the others as they joked around and had fun. she wanted to be a part of them but she just couldn't. she felt like a shadow and she felt too tired to care. deep in her heart, she wished that someone out there consider her their best friend or a friend they would remember every now and then. i saw that girl smiling, but i also saw her heart bleeding inside. it was a pitiful sight and that girl was a pitiful sight. so sad but there was nothing she or i could do. i saw that girl as she faked a smile and sleepwalking through out the day and the next. nothing got better, just some added unneeded scars in her shallow heart. life still went on and sadly, that girl was still smiling with tears in her heart.
