Under The Seams

You see her laugh,
You see her smile.
You think she has a happy lifestyle.
But do you know,
What’s underneath?
A depressed girl trying to escape reality.
The boy in your class,
The one you sit next to.
Little do you know; he’s trying to leave, too.
As much as they cheer,
As much as they seem…
You will never know how much pain hides under the seams.
