She stands so close Yet distant inside A smile on her face Every night she cries She acts so perfect to all her friends But secretly hopes it will all soon end A twinkling laugh for her dream guy Though he ignores her smile all the time Uses make-up to hide bruises, so bright For she's beaten and harassed all through the night Mother moves her town to town every year People wonder why she's addicted to drugs and beer She goes to parties were she can act free But paid the price with a teen pregnancy She would give any thing to leave this world Yet she's stuck living the life of a broken girl
