&quot;so do it. Decide. Is this the person you want to be? Is this the life you want to live? Is this the best you can be?&quot;<br /> &quot;I survived the fire because the fire within me burns brighter than the one around me&quot;

She smiles constantly,

and makes others smile too.

She laughs all the time

and tells jokes with her friends.

 

But look into her eyes,

and you will find pain.

Look into her eyes,

and you will find sadness.

 

She seems really happy,

but she's actually not.

 

Look into her eyes,

and listen to them.

Because the eyes

speak louder

than her lips ever will.
