Behind her eyes...

Man...I have a good friend who seems so cheery everyday. Though she gets tired, I always thought it was literal...But it wasnt all along. She's being "tortured" (not literally) at home. Things just arent good... But whenever I see her in school, I never see the sadness. She never cries about it, nor does she even think about it. However, I do see her looking exhausted. But when we talk it's as if she's tired because of school and pressure and all that. I never thought that she was suffering a lot... She can hold everything in for some reason... She can even smile and all. No, I dont think it's because she doesnt want to show her pain, but probably because she really wants to forget about it... There are times when she says she doesnt want to go home, but I always thought she just wanted to stay in school and hang with her buddies. I never knew the real reason why was because... Anyway, she really doesnt talk about it at all. Even when we start talking about those things, sbe never seems to share her own troubles...Well actually she does, but she seldom gives them in full detail... To be honest, I feel guilty for not noticing her pain. When I ask her what's wrong, all she says is that she's tired... Then we skip to another subject. She even laughs and cracks jokes sometimes... She's one of the most amazing friends I've ever had... A good leader, dancer, singer, artist, speaker, actress, listener and a great friend...

notes:

• I hope all will go well for her... May God light her way...
• May God give her the strength she needs to pull through...
• She's an awesome friend. God bless her!
