The Hidden Girl

an original poem written some time in 2019

She wears fancy dresses to cover up her scars
She wears a fake smile to hide her tears
No matter how hard she tries not to,
She still wears her fears.

Barefaced and naked,
She confronts her anxieties.
They reveal another girl,
One not accepted by the societies.

And thus she ducks behind the leaves,
Ashamed and afraid
Waiting for a cure to heal her,
But forever there she laid.
