Sick Girl
August 17, 2011
What you see
Is a normal girl
Happy and laughing
Without a care in the world,
What you see is a mask she hides behind,
What you don’t see
Is the pain she goes through
Every day,
What you don’t see
Is the sick girl,
What you don’t see
Is the constant hospital visits
And the various pills swallowed,
What you don’t see
Is the blood that’s been taken
And the weight that’s been lost,
What you don’t see
Is the disease she hides,
Instead you see what she wants you to see
A normal healthy me.
