hidden tears

happy little girl —
full of laughter and cheer.
happy little girl —
who always sees daddy disappear.
happy little girl —
feeling responsible for her mother´s tears.
happy little girl —
hides many secrets and has so much fear.
happy little girl isn´t so happy after all.
look into her eyes and see the cage around her soul.
sad little girl —
crying to the night.
sad little girl —
so ready to give up the fight.
