Everyone around her

She walked around
With a smile
So amused she was
By the world she lived in
  And everyone she met
   Asked her why she was
   Smiling when the world around her
   Was crashing to the ground
So she wiped away the smile
Painted tear-stains on her cheeks
Frowned and allowed her forehead
To wrinkle
   And everyone she met
   Asked her why she was
   Crying when there was so much goodness
   In the world she lived in
So she wiped away the tear-stains
Smoothened her skin
Extinguished the fire in her eyes
Stilled her expressions
   And everyone she met
   Called her a heartless
   Emotionless monster
   Who couldn’t smile or cry
