There’s this girl in my literature class, she’s very quiet and optimistic. She’s nice and kind but there is something different behind her brownish eyes, it’s scary what a smile can hide. I saw the same girl in a span of months always wearing her familiar smile that did not even reach her eyes once. I wonder what’s hiding behind her bangle, does she held it tight when she cries? I think about the girl and her struggles at night. Guaranteed she’s hurting inside yet she still got the courage to flash a smile outside. It must be very hard to keep it all by herself but I couldn’t blame her for sticking up with the game called hide and seek hoping that someday, someone will defeat all the monsters in her head and replace them with permanent peace.
