The Girl Within

Every morning I put on that brave face.
No one sees the tears 
Hidden barely beneath the surface.
It takes almost nothing for my lips to quiver
And for the cascade of tears to flow,
And still, the world is oblivious.
I used to pray for invisibility.
It seems I did one thing right
No one takes notice...
As my entire universe crumbles around me
No one is aware...
How much longer can I play this part?
Can I make this charade last any longer?
Will I finally let the world see 
The terrified girl within?
