The hollow laughs
are her charades put in disguise
the tears are often hidden
in her bruised heart
she is fighting hard to forget
all those moments of despair
and all those hopes that never survived
she is in a constant battle
with her ardent self
trying hard to fight her demons
to help forget her horrid past
and to love a new life

So, if you decide to hold her hands
and give her hope to bring her griefs
to a beautiful end
help her along one step at a time
be patient, stay calm
for she is building her castle
one brick at a time
