You know that girl that sits in the front of your college class?
Religiously taking notes and answering questions?
I know she seems like an over achiever,
How she's always smiling.
The way she dresses in pink and cute short shorts.
I know it may seem like she's looking for attention and trying too hard.
But that girl was not always as happy and lively has she seems.
That girl used to spend her nights crying herself to sleep.
She would sit in the back of her high school classes,
not talking to anyone.
Dressed in black hoodies and sweats everyday.
Awhile ago that girl got help, she's better now.
So why shouldn't she dress her best and try her hardest.
She worked her *** off in therapy to be where she is now.
How should I know? Why do I care?
Because I was that girl in the dark clothes.
And now I am that girl with the happy smile and the bright colored clothes.
I am the way I am now because of who I used to be.
