Untitled Poem

she sits and watches the world go by
they stop and ask her, how she is
she smiles and replies, I am fine
She smiles and says please sit if only
for a bit, that is if you have the time
No,?, Really I am fine, they walk away
and she just stays, in a daze, her days
so gray. She sits and watches the world go by, 
they stop and ask her how she is.
She smiles and says I'm fine. 
They don't know that she hides
behind her smile, while inside her world is gray. 
She sits day by day and watches the world go by
wishing she were fine.
