Everyone loved to laugh at her

She was a jester to all
She caught the attention of many
And she was a source of happiness to a few
But nobody knew of the pain she hid
Nobody knew of the smile she faked
Nobody knew of the hurt she felt
And nobody knew of the tortures she suffered
She made a perfect façade of smiles
A perfect mask of happiness
A mask that fooled many
But not the dreamer who wrote this
As she looked at the mirror,
A stranger looked back at her
The stranger was smiling and beaming
While she was crying and broken
Nobody else saw her for what she truly was
All they saw was the reflection
The reflection of a happy girl
A happy girl that did not exist in her reality
