Does Anyone Know Her?

She’s been told dark secrets
Which she’ll take to her grave
Yet keep her feelings in check
Who truly knows her?

She’s the weight of the world
On those old shoulders, but so young
Yet she’s not seen the planet
Like she should have done

She’s carried all the pain and loss
Of a soul in torment
Yet she smiles and laughs to all she sees
But does anyone know her?

Her thoughts are random
Complex and confused
Yet her time is yours for eternity
An ear, a shoulder, a falling tear…
