FakeSmile
May 13, 2015
You see a girl with a smile
So happy
She doesn’t want to go home
Her dad
In the car
Yelling at her to get in
At home
Her mom yelling at her
She forgot to do her chores yesterday
Her mom tortures her
Till she bleeds
She cries with a black eye in her room
The next day she comes back to school
Makeup on her black eye so nobody noticing
The next day comes
Now she starts her fake smile again!
