Deep inside her complex mind,
Behind her pretty smile,
A broken girl, you shall find,
who will go the extra mile,
To hide the pain she feels inside,
Working hard to look alive,
But on the inside she has died,
she feels this way, yet she shall thrive

She is Brave and Strong,
Braver than those around her,
For she has been hurt for so long,
yet trusts those who could hurt her,
She has a sad story,
It will make you cry,
But I don't want her to worry,
so I won't tell you why,

She is Brave and Strong,
And that is why,
You will never see that all is wrong,
And she wants to die,
She will live a long life,
For She knows she’ll be missed,
So she’ll resist the temptation of the knife,
On her wrist

She is Brave and Strong,
To have lasted this long,
And to continue on going,
Her smile ‘ever glowing,
She knows her future holds much pain,
But each day there is so much to gain,
She fears the pain but she’ll go on,
For she is, Brave and Strong.
