She wanted more attention
He couldn't give it
She cried when they had ***
She wasn't ready

She's tired of explaining herself
She tells herself it's okay to have bad days
But there are so many
She's forgotten how to have fun and relax
She's always on edge
Waiting for something bad to happen
She's waiting to get hurt
She's scared
She hurts so easily

They tell her she is beautiful
That means nothing to her

She knows she is pretty
That is just her shell
Her spirit and soul are in pain
Slowly healing

She needs understanding and compassion
She needs love and support

The fire burns strongly within herself
She tries to contain and maintain
Sometimes her fire burns everything
Sometimes it almost goes out
