can you hear that?
can you hear her scream?
because i can and it's so silent,
as if she wasn't screaming at all.

look deep in her eyes,
she's smiling but the sadness is very much alive in there,
she says she's okay but her eyes betray her.

she smiles so much,
it even hurts me.
it's like she can't stop,
as if it was automatic.

how can she be so calm?
how can she be smiling?
how can she look at you in the eye and tell you she's fine with sad eyes?

she says she's tired,
she says she only needs a nap,
but I know better,
she doesn't want a nap,
she wants to sleep forever.
