Behind the Scenes

Everything is not always the way it seems, we sometimes have to look behind the curtains...

Pretty had she been all her life
Friends has she got all the time
Her smile, prettiest more than ever
Just like sunshine, had it seemed to have shined forever
Her laugh seemed a melody to everyone
There's something in her that everyone want
"You are so pretty, I wish I were you"
"Your life is so perfect, I want that too"


A dark locked room, sniffings are heard
The prettiest girl had been warned over
To not walk out her room keeping her in a gloom
For she failed to give her best in a recent test
The lips which were always curved in a pretty smile
Are now bleeding for she had been slapped for the 20th time
This is what goes on, behind the scene
Of her so-called perfect life, that others mean
Behind the scenes, her honey voice
Is nothing but some wailing noise
Behind the scenes, the sweetness of her
Is crying for help over and over
So, this is what goes on behind the scene
The one that is hidden, which no one has seen.

Hi Chipmunks
This was a surprising piece. Thank you for sharing. It is unexpected to show the background which includes abuse. All so true and prevalent. An interesting and confounding poem.
