She smiles with tears in her eyes
She laughs when she wants to cry
She lies, saying she's okay
She struggles every single day
She will never tell you the truth
The source of her pain
Out of fear you will give her the boot
And push her away
She fears the day she will be alone
She tries and tries to act all grown
When deep inside she is just a girl
A girl in the shadows
A girl with no future
A girl who never was given a chance
To rise above all the rest.
