Running through the backyard barefoot
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs for my missing stuffed toy
There is pink in the sky
My dad says stop crying

And I wonder what he's doing now
It's dark outside and my night lights on
I hear crickets outside and my sobs
I hope my teddy is ok

There was a time when I was happy
Running through a field in the evening when the sun burned pink
Crying for my stuffed toy

Ive spent hours studying for a class I dont care about
The dark circles under my eyes are windows into the darkness inside me
And I stay up at night feeling terrible
Wishing I could have happiness back

A boy broke my heart two years ago
And my first kiss with him tasted weird
And Ive found someone new

Ive changed into the thing I was scared of
The girl who gives herself away
And avoids looking into mirrors
Not wanting to see her ugly face

She donated all her stuff toys years ago except her favorite one
A stuffed elephant

She doesnt know her future yet

— The End —
