People say every day.
Shy, but happy,
And loving, they say.

The poor girl's soul?
The girl who suffers bullying,
But no one is told.

She hides it well,
Never tells anyone.
But when no one is there,
She lets the tears run.

She cries and screams,
All day and all night.
But if someone is there,
She hides it in fright.

Because of her mask.
She lives through each day,
Impossible tasks.

She hopes that soon
She will be OK.
Because she might end it,
With a knife one day.
