smiling

she stands there
in a group of friends
a big smile on her face
laughing with everyone around her
she looks happy
confidant
invincible

but if you touch her
in just the right way
you'll feel her body tense
beneath your hand
with a fear she so
desperately tries to hide

or if someone says a certain thing
you can catch the pain
in her expression
all the secrets
trying to escape

but only for a moment

because she's good at smiling
she always has been
even though everyone
she's ever loved

     broke her
