I'm the Girl

I am the girl behind a mask of chains, who tries to cry without the tears,

the girl youd never guess would cut herself, and run away from all her fears,

this broken spirit has no will to fly, deaf to everything you say,

avoiding the truth, and cowering from hurt, a pro at walking away,

I am the girl with crimson ribbons, gracing my body, my wrist,

a lost soul that's been down under too long, theres no going back from a point like this,

I am slowly fading...a waste of time, space, breath,

where nothing in this world could taste so sweet as, an empty sorrowful death,

I am that girl who's head hangs low, my beautiful eyes to the ground, and a heart of ice,

who wears a prison built around her soul, to make any guy think twice,

a fallen angel from a secret world, where the good guys know defeat,

the apple poisoned for snow white, was really meant for me,

I am a girl of lonliness, who's lips are locked and sealed,

noone could search for this special key,

whats been done cannot be healed,

I am a girl of secret nightmares, where lies know me by my name,

Broken toys find shelter in my closet,

Im the girl with a soft spot for your games,

I am often and easily fooled by you, deceit is your best play,

I wear a blanket of stars on my eyes,

and read only what you say...

Im the girl who hides herself, beyond the place we dream,

the only thing inside my mind, is what you dont do for me,

I am the girl you watch walk by, and think that I cant hear,

who smiles just to hide the hurt, and quickly wipes away the tears,

the girl who goes to church each week, with a terror in her heart,

who is standing on the edge of everything, broken, falling apart,

I am that girl you saw on the news, who took her life today,

the girl you didnt want to talk to, the one you brushed away,

a simple, ordinary, nothing special girl, who only asked for love,

and harshly found that in the end, nothing is ever enough....
