all around

She was alone,
In crowd,
But alone.
Her face held a smile,
Pasted there for everyone to see.
Her hands were held primly at her sides,
Legs crossed.
She was surrounded,
people laughing like they were happy all around her,
And yet they were not truly happy,
And she was the only one who could see through the lies,
In those smiles that never reached their eyes
