The Same Girl
 Sep 2013 d3x
pieces
The same girl who always cares about everyone
even if nobody cares about her;
is the same girl whom her friends tell her she's pretty
but she thinks otherwise.
Is the same girl who seems to be happy,
but has scars that show otherwise.
Is the same girl that when she looks herself at a mirror,
finds every flaw on her body
and has no fingers left to keep counting.
Is the same girl who finds difficult to sleep at night
because she can not stop thinking
about things that have happened in the past that still hurt her.
Is the same girl who mortifies herself
by what people think.
Is the same girl that can be surrounded by thousands of people,
but always feel alone.
Is the same girl who helps everybody
knowing who most needs help
is herself.
Is the same girl who hates her face, her body
and everything about herself.
Is the same girl whom you will see smiling of happiness,
but most of the time
she will be filled with sadness.
Is the same girl who's looking for happiness,
although happiness
is not looking for her.

why weren't you there when i grew up?
why weren't you there when i cried?
why weren't you there to hold me up?
why weren't you there when i cared?

now you are here, (hopefully) with answers?
you called, you wanted to talk
dare i answer the phone?
should i answer your plea?

what i want to know is,
why are you suddenly so interested
in little [not so much anymore] me?

what, after all these years,
made you remember your first daughter,
remember that i am here?
