no one sees

the tears slowly falling from her eyes
make no sound
the nights she’s cried herself to sleep
are never heard.
the gentlest touch
makes her hair fall out
everything aches from her body to her mind to her heart
but no one see’s.
behind every fake smile,
every forced laugh,
is a hidden pain.
because she knows…
that no matter how hard she tries
she will never live up to their standards.
she will never be good enough.
…and the harder she tries
the harder she falls
and the tears just keep coming
and her heart just keeps aching
and her hair just keeps falling out
and no one see’s…
