Hidden Smile.....

Keeping up the delightful pace.
Lighting up with a beautiful smile.
Making around glisten with bliss.
She was an angel in disguise.
She was a star for darkness.
Making everything bright.
Her grace lauded all around.
When you look a little closer.
You see something amiss.
You approach nearer,
A step back she takes.
Heeding a warning ahead.
What she doesn't want from you.
Was to know who she really is.
Scared away she'd run.
Scarred from the past
That held her captive.
Trying to make others glad,
Made the darkness dim.
Yet the sorrow was grim.
Making a difference was good.
But never an impact on her.
She sought solace in goodness.
Yet the solitude didn't vanish.
Can anyone's pain be so dark,
That even a little light.
Didn't stand for anything.
What she hides?
No one knows.
What she fears?
Can be felt.
What she feels?
Can't be understood.
What can she do?
Not a clue,
Only time can change.
The darkness that shrouds.
But she still remains an angel.
For those that need a smile.
