A Dead-End Journey
Her smile lights up the room
Her style catches every eye
Her very presence demands you
But it's all just a sick lie
Her purple-green highlights
That streak in her hair
Hide her prominent grays
Like she would care
The stress of her over perfection
Causes her to abuse her body
It makes her crave more
Makes her judgement, shoddy
Why is the journey for perfection?
So self destroying
Why is she doing this to her self?
So annoying
She forces a smile, a smirk
A laugh, a grin, even a wink
She isn't brave enough to reveal it
Reveal that she's at the very brink
She's close to insanity
Her minds slowly dying
Her heart is growing cold
Why am I even trying?
Trying to save this girl
Saving her with all my heart
It sickens me that I care
It tears my insides apart
It's like walking down a winding road
That circles around and around
I can't escape this path
Failure was probably in bound
Yet I can't escape this feeling
This feeling to keep on going
I can't believe that I'm doing this
Her heart is barely even showing
I guess I'm stuck on this path
A path made of gravel and sharp rock
Even though I can see the end clearly
This dead-end journey, I must walk
