Carefully sculpting her words
She constructs a wall
Plastering a smile on her face
To hold the bricks together.
Sometimes a crack forms
At the surface of her demeanour
Curious eyes peek through
To get a glimpse
She hurls the light elsewhere
Attention unwanted
Hiding under a blanket of darkness
Lips upcurling into a wry smile
All the while
They to understand
When she doesn't even understand herself
A person; undefined.
