She opened her eyes
Disappointed that she's still alive
Another day filled with pain
Another day of endless shame

She was tired
and wanted this to end
Tonight
Tonight she'll no longer fight
Tonight
It will all end tonight

With her head down, as if trying to hide
She faced the crowd for one last time
Whispers started as she walked by
Eyes on her as if she committed a crime

Just as she tried to hide
A stranger came to her side
She braced herself, prepared for an attack
Ready to take a blow, ready to be mocked

But he just smiled
Flashing his crooked white teeth
And called her beautiful
But she didn't believe
For her ears were filled with hatred and mockery

He called her beautiful
Again and again
Until she believes

That night she went to sleep
Her nightmare vanished
Replaced by hopeful dreams

She opened her eyes
Thanking God that she's still alive
It may be another day filled with pain
And endless shame
But she knew her life will never be the same

With her head down, still trying to hide
She faced the crowd for one more time
Whispers still started as she walked by
Eyes still on her as if she committed a crime

And then suddenly, the stranger came
As if to protect her from all the shame
He called her beautiful
Again and again
Until it's all she hears

He called her beautiful
Making her forget
Years of torment
Years of living hell

He called her beautiful
And she believed.

Always dreaming
Yet never sleeping
She was caught up in a fantasy
She created in her head

Growing older
Yet never growing up
He was always playing
The games where he always wins

She got lost
Wandering in the enchanted forest
And found him
She instantly fell in love
Even when he didn’t offer his heart
And only promised
That he’ll teach her to fly

But she was just a player… a pawn
Caught up in his little game
Just like an innocent fly
Trapped in a spider web of lies

In her pretty little head
She can win the battle for his heart
Cause in a world of talking rabbits and caterpillars
She was the fierce warrior who defeated the Jabberwocky

But as he pulled her out of Wonderland
And brought her to Neverland
He let the pirates with hooks on their hands
Rip the heart off her chest
And served it on a silver platter to the crocodiles

She dragged herself back to Wonderland
Leaving a trail of her own blood
Still believing
Still hoping
That he’ll come after her
But he never did

— The End —
