She cries
Every wink
Every grin
Every bit of laughter
Covers her pain
Her loss
Her every fiber
Shattered
From the world she hides her broken heart
Her broken dreams
Her broken fantasies
Of everlasting love
Happiness
Bliss
Peace
But no one can see
No one looks past her perfect face
Her beautiful eyes
Her long hair
They see perfection in human form
But behind the her opaque eyes
She screams into the darkness
She claws for the smallest scant of content
Her soul lies tired
Waiting
For something to give out
Waiting
For the pain to end
Waiting for the walls to collapse in
Waiting for her life to end
To find the last promise
Heaven

I think this is written very well. the writing style is very nice and the thoughts are put out there in a way that is not confusing- a very impressive feat as more often than not the poetry I read on here is unorganized. I only must say the topic is unoriginal. the idea of hidden beauty or hiding behind beauty or trapped or whatever is, in my opinion, almost as overused as a topic a love. what does set your poem apart is the exceptional writing...great job really!

The poem tells about a suicidal girl that has nothing left but no one seems to notice because all they can focus on is how nice she looks.
