The mask she puts on
is so hard to see behind
she pretends everything
is all right
when really shes
scared to go back
to that place
she stays to herself
and everyone laughs
but they don't
understand the pain
behind the mask
they don't see
whats really important
she pays every night
only wanting
to talk to her mother
for she died with serious
injury that no one could explain
for she keeps the
nightmare inside
so now that her
mother is gone
she comes home
to that monster
who throws that
beer bottle
and tells her shes nothing
hes the only thing
shell ever have
why cant he see
shes not an ash tray
and shes not
a punching bag
why cant he see
that what hes doing
is hurting
her inside
shes just a little girl
hiding away
from everything
inside she keeps it
not knowing
what they'll say
how much longer
will she be able
to hold on
