She was perceived as a work of art

A flowing wave of joy 

But see, deep inside her heart

Remained an emotional void

Her actions were sweet as honey

Removing all doubt

But her tears remained runny

When she would silently shout for help

This shows how beauty isn't a defining factor, because you never know what goes on inside a person's head. Someone might act bubbly and happy, but there might be a darker side that they hide. People who are only seen for their beauty tend to feel like they are supposed to act a certain way, and pretend to be happy while in reality might have something going on in their lives. This shows how you should always check on your friends and the people around your. It's important to establish a support system, and confide to others.
