The Good Girl

She was always smiling and looked happy and cheerful all the time. A stranger would think that this girl was someone who wouldn't let anything get her down. Even if something was wrong she would keep up the cool exterior and not let anyone know she was crying inside... Only the few people who knew her really well could see what was going on and yet even to them she would hardly open up.

She is afraid. Afraid to admit that something may be wrong... Afraid to admit that sometimes she is just not happy with life and is unsure of whats to come... Afraid to hurt feelings by admitting so... Afraid of being rejected and alone... Afraid to just be herself...

She wishes things were as they were some years ago... when life was simpler. She wishes everything hadn't changed so suddenly. She wishes she still had that same feeling of comfort of looking forward to a happy future that she had back then.

But there is no one to reassure her cos no one knows what is going through her mind. So she puts on a wide smile and gets ready to face yet another tomorrow...
