Wake up in the morning
dragging her body off the floor
ungrateful for the results
of a night that made her sore
put on her clothes
and she heads on her way
putting on her mask
so she can start off her day
she talks to her friends
putting on her show
smile and joking
so no one will ever know
pays attention in class
sits down and takes her notes
as her mind begins to wander
of death she only hopes
she gets her good grades
she tries to look like she wants to be the best
no one will figure it out
if no one ever puts her to the test
she passes notes
and on her way she always says "hi"
she becomes a good actress
no one knows how she gets by
she watches what she says
always tries to be proper
she says she smiles insides
but she knows that's not her
at lunch she's everywhere
making her rounds
pretending she loves to be there
but really she doesn't want to be around
she has her best friends
they think they know all
but they never even wonder
why she doesn't pick up when they call
they laugh and they yell
their fun they never hide
each day she goes along with it
but really she's dead inside
when the day is over
she sets down her books
looks up and down in the mirror
for her last and final look
her real self is out now
she's disgusted with what she sees
but she knows she can never change
that is who she'll always be
broken and miserable
with so many attempts in the past
hallow and disturbed
hoping every night she wouldn't last
but now her time has come
she makes sure it will
every night with the same goal
but she's here still
but no not this time
everything will go according to plan
she'll forever sleep
this time she knows she can
so she takes the pills
and goes to her bed
closes her eyes
and now she's dead...
