Ballad of the Broken

Bruises on her soul
and a scar on her heart
she walks around seeming well together
but she's being ripped apart.

They say she could get away with murder.
she's silent.
so quiet on the outside.
but inside she screams for life.

When she cries
she's alone
not at school or with her friends
at home, in her room
hiding under the covers of her bed.

She wants someone to care
someone to reach out. or just be there
to give her a simple hug.
to catch her

She's tired of being run down
she needs someone to know
all she asks for is love.
all she wants is a friend.

She wants to laugh
and smile. just be carefree!
one simple time
one moment in her life
she wants to feel like the way she uses to..

before she grew up
