Paper Girl

There she goes,
With a smile plastered on her face
And happy eyes gleaming with grace
As she looks at people
They look at her with awe and amaze
How can she be so happy?
They cry out
She just shakes her head and walks away
And helps everyone who stops by her way
After some time she reaches home late
Her mother stands angrily by her gate
Where were you? she screams with hate
The girl apologizes and rushes into her lair
She falls on the bed and thinks about her day
The smile she’d plastered falls off her face
And she sobs, tiny tears flowing
She puts her hand on her head and pulls at her mane
She hears a thudding coming on the stair
And then a knife coming to chase
Come here you wretched girl cries the devil
In the shape of a mother
Reeking with anger and sadistic vibes
She cuts the girl right on her thighs
The girls cries in agony
But all in vain
The devil succumbs down after some time
The girl is now trying to hide
The tears that always flowed
The pain that she never showed
She takes a deep breathe and falls down the bed
Hands on her side
People often asked her how she managed to stay happy
She was made of paper
Tied together with a smile
But now she’s coming undone.
