She hid it well

It wasn't just hard. It was awful, heart-breaking, gut wrenching.

It was life.

She tried. Oh, she fucking tried to be different.

To be somehow they could be proud of.

Kind, good-natured. She accepted them just as they are.

She didn't complain, didn't even make a sound.

She gave them gifts, gave them money.

Even tried to mingle with them even when she doesn't want to.

Little did she know, she was getting too attached.

And hell, did she lose her mind.

How could they, she asked.

They never changed. It was all the same.

She still lost. Ended up crying, with only him to turn to.

Her emotions were on turmoil.

She was broken.

Even if she tried, there was in no way she'd win.

That was life. It was just never fair.

She doubt if it ever will.
