She sits among the crowd
does her best to blend right in
she tries to be inconspicuous
keeps her thoughts within
attention makes her fearful
maybe they will see
the positives she’s hiding
or the person she could be...

And then she smiles
and it lights up her face
there’s no where she could hide
when she smiles…
her eyes sparkle and reflect
how does she expect
to hide…

She keeps to herself
rarely says a word
she thinks she’s better off
if she is never heard
but what she doesn’t see
the more she tries to hide
those who care to wonder
are drawn closer to her side

…To see her smile
watch as it lights up her face
there’s nowhere she can hide
when she smiles…
the sparkle in her eyes
makes them fantasize
when she smiles…

She sits behind her walls
safe within her shell
comfort in her own space
keeps things buried well
but when she gives a peak
allows someone else to see
the depth of who she is
shares her personality…

…It makes me smile!
and it lights up my face
the sparkle in her eyes
makes me fantasize…
and nothing can replace
the warmth that radiates
when she smiles…
