I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do something I can do.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ~ Edward E. Hale

The pain she hides
Behind glassy eyes
Too much to bare
Harder to share
A broken heart
Torn apart
Full of sorrow
How can she face another tomorrow
Hiding within this disguise
While hiding the truth behind the lies
She begins to fall
Losing it all
She tries not to scream
Wanting it to be a dream
The cuts run deep
Leaving scars she must keep
She will never be the same

The night I wrote this over the phone with my friend for a poetry thing she had. Since she did help I want her to have credit for it.
