Behind her smile is a scream of pain
The bright eyes hide her tears
Frustration overflowing her brain
Building up for years
No escape from the mask she wears
Pretending that she has no cares
Tossing and turning under the still
Her emotions: willing, ready to kill
No outlet from this civilized game
Captivated is her name

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
