Tears silently glide
past the smile she has
pasted on her face
beneath the laughter and joy
heart-wrenching sobs
threaten to break free
Sorrow intermingled
with hope
anger soaked into the crevices
of a seemingly picture-perfect life
Two pictures interwoven
on the surface
a honor roll student
loving sister
best friend
dig a little deeper and find
a struggling pupil
tired of her siblings
afraid of her father
mad at her mom
both pictures struggling
to fit within the confines
of a single square frame
Nails become loose
glass shatters
and only one picture
can remain in tact
the only question is
which one will it be
