My dear friend,
Listen once and listen good,
Even if you don't want to,
You should.

I hereby tell you all I know,
And hope that it will help you grow,
Because I want to see you be happy,
I don't want to see you end up like me.

I'm sitting
waiting
"will he speak
no
he won't speak
he never speaks"
I open the conversation
I type "hey" slowly
I consider erasing
should I add a smiley
maybe two e's
two y's
I decide to leave it as it is
"I'm taking too long"
if he had the chat window open
he would have seen I was typing
then that I stopped
I erase "hey"
slowly type it back in
press enter
but
the message can't be sent because
he's already gone.

This girl walks the earth
Displaying fraudulent pride
Keeping to herself
The number of times she's cried.

This girl walks the earth
Her head full of dreams
Her heart full of wonder
Why not all is as it seems.

This girl walks the earth
Spreading smiles and cheers
Not letting a single person
Know her greatest fears.

This girl walks the earth
With quite a lot to say
But it's what she never says
That bothers her each day.

This girl walks the earth
Appearing so happy and free
While most wouldn't guess it
This misunderstood girl is me.
