Smile and Pretend

Yeah, let's just pretend it's still Friday, shall we? My bad. Anyway, this is a poem I wrote the other day simply because I needed to write it.

Just smile and
Pretend to care
It’s all she has
She just can’t bear

The pressure’s building
The beauty fades
Her heartbeat squeezes
She eyes the blades

Its not the answer
She knows this well
The tears spill over
She needs to yell

Curl up in the corner
Hug your knees tight
It’s just a nightmare
No need for fright

A new morning dawns
The teenage girl rises
Files away the dream
Puts on her disguises

She smiles and
She pretends to care
It’s all she has
She just can’t bear

So here we are. Question: Does this flow well? Do you have any suggestions for improving it?
