Deception

Standing in a corner,
looking at myself,
I see a distant girl.
Eyes say something,
pleading...
smile befooling.
Appears calm and quiet,
if you happen to glance,
laughs and tells jokes,
keeps busy and withdrawn.
Running from place to another,
with no care, it seems.
But when I look a little closer,
I find those eyes very deep,
hiding too much
beneath the tranquil surface,
and escaping forever...
