I knew a girl that loved herself
Loved the person she was
Didn't care what people thought
Didn't care how she looked
She had her life planned out
Knew in her mind that she was going to be something one day
I wish her thoughts didn't destroy her
She started to change
Slowly
Stopped going out
Didn't want to go to school
Insecurities ruled her body
She had everyone by her side
But yet felt so alone
She wanted to end it
As she thought of ways to leave
She couldn't bring herself to do so
Family is what stopped her
The thought of her sister walking in  the house & finding her body helpless
Scared her
She ended a relationship that was dear to her heart
Now she just feels trapped
Wishing for a way to get out
Screaming for help
No one can hear her
She looks around for a hand to grab
An ear that'll listen
Someone
Anyone
She just wants to get back to normal
She just doesn't want the darkness to win
She wants the old her back
She wants to be able to look in the mirror and loves what she sees
I want to be me
