An untuned guitar
Plays songs familiar.
A melody not strummed
Seems peculiar.
The song rises up
And bellows out.
My happy voice
Begins to shout.
I beg for a song-
I lose the tune.
My voice has gone.
I'm stuck not in bloom.

There once was a time that I couldn't go a day without seeing your face
Oh how I wish to go back to such a simpler place
Where we could sit and stare at each other and not say a single word
Nothing would be said but everything could be heard
Everything was going well and our future looked bright
Until, oh until, reality struck that night
The love in your eyes had started to fade and the way you looked at me just wasn't the same
More and more, things just changed
Even the way you said my name
Then, one day you finally cracked...
Said that this was going nowhere and you started to pack
The love of my life was walking out of the door while I was picking up my shattered heart from off of the floor
Years and years of loving you endlessly
I never thought that you would leave me
It happens in movies and happens in books but when it happened to me, my whole world shook
Time went by and the pain inside wasn't there but still some nights, I wish I could run my fingers through your hair
To have your lips pressed against mine and  you could call me yours forever
We would talk about the future of us being together
But I've moved on from that; the past is the past
Because I realized that nothing is really meant to last...
I am a girl that everyone knows
Beautiful grin, no worries or woes
Laugh is one you'll never forget
I'm living in my past debt
I  hate my body, say I am fat
I  shouldn't hate myself, but don't know that
I'm the girl with the biggest smile
Nobody knows I  force up bile
Feels worthless, ugly, abandoned, wasted
No one knows the tears I have tasted
Cry myself to sleep at night
But smiles again once it is bright
I pull the blade across my skin
Takes comfort in the pain that I'm in
I love the sight of my own blood
I want to see the beautiful flood
I once said I wished I was dead
I meant it, wasn't just in my head
I am that girl that nobody knows
Inside my walls I'm forever enclosed
