Vulnerable (8 words in 8 lines collection)

Those smiles that do not reach the eyes,

Laughter which seems ironically lonely and forced.

No one could notice this because of her

Seemingly genuine façade of radiating glow and ambience.

No one knows she cries herself to sleep;

No one knows her masking of true emotions.

And again, no one had seem to perceive

That vulnerable is the strong girl deep inside.
