Outside Looking In
She lives with so much hurt- Yet she's able to stay content,
There's so much pain inside of her- But she's good at playing pretend.
She's a friend to who ever needs one- Her whole life she's tried to be one,
But her heart remains to be empty- Cuz her whole life she's continued to need one.
Every day is just a re-run- She's everyones shoulder to cry on,
But when she cries the tears go unnoticed- She has no one to rely on.
Her mom is always around- But some things can't be said,
Her past continues to haunt her present- Things she did that she now regrets.
She wants to reset- Start a new game- But the memories are carved inside,
So at night when she lays down and prays- She asks for help and continues to cry.
The tears escape her eyes- Each filled with a piece of her heart,
And etched into the water are pictures of the past- That constantly tear her apart.
Stare into her eyes, realize the emptiness- That is covered by the blanket of despair,
But if you go deeper you can see into her soul- A glimpse of vulnerability that is rare.
She's calling for help but not making a sound- The screams are comming from her eyes,
That's why I'm wiping the tears that are strolling down her cheek- Everytime that this girl starts to cry.
