Mermaid in a Shell

She's there standing in front of the people

She's there smiling widely as she could

"As she could"

I wonder if she can hold it off so long

I wonder if those words hurt her

I wonder if people can hear her heart

I wonder if they take her seriously

Does she know how to scream it out?

Does she hide her face to those monsters?

Does she turns her back to hide it?

Does she cries in her room at night?

Is she lonely? Alone? Depressed?

She's there in a corner standing

She exists yet she's engulfed with darkness

She has a face yet she wears a mask

She's sad but she smiles as if it's nothing

She's dead inside..
