January

She's all smiles

Straits As

laughing with her friends

 

February

her parents are fighting

her brother is crying

she's still smiling

 

March

her parents gets a divorce

her father leaves

she's still smiling

 

April

it's spring

her brother isn't talking

her mum works too much

she's still smiling

 

May

Her brother is gone

He left

She's still smiling

 

June

she goes to his funeral

crying at his casket

she wipes away her tears

and carries on smiling

 

July

her friends are at parties

she's alone in the dark

she's still smiling

 

August

back to school

alone on the bus

she's still smiling

 

September

autumn is here

her mum isn't talking

she's still smiling

 

October

it hurts

scars on her skin

she's still smiling

 

November

it's cold

cold as her heart

she's still smiling

 

December

is she still smiling?
