Life In Ruins

She was always voted,
Most likely to succeed,
She always seemed so sure of herself,
Her brain she loved to feed.

She excelled in everything,
From school all the way to fun,
But now it\'s over,
All said and done.

She was popular,
Among her peers,
In her life,
She had no fears.

She loved to be with friends,
Their laughter was er cure,
For everything in her \'perfect world,\'
That made her insecure.

But no one ever knew this,
Or the pain she held inside,
Being on top was the only thing,
That made it all easy to hide.

Lunch was her favorite time of day,
To sit with friends and smile,
Now she can\'t believe it,
All this mess has cramped her style.

You\'d think one simple hurricane,
Oh wow- What can that do?
I\'ll tell it can destroy your life,
It can make it come unglued.

She never knew what existed,
Beyond the city she lived in,
She doesn\'t want to let go,
She doesn\'t think she can.

She was the cheerleader,
The diva, the star,
But now you can just forget it,
She\'s moved way to far.

Her old friends forgot she existed,
Her new friends just can\'t relate,
She can\'t decide if this is,
Her one and only fate.

She loves where she lives now,
With friends by her side,
But she still feels the need,
For all her pain to hide.

She says it\'s no big deal,
She\'s glad she moved away,
But the honest truth is,
She can\'t live another day.

She\'s tired of pretending,
Like she\'s pefectly okay,
That she\'s capable of handeling,
The constant pain each day.

She wants someone to understand,
That she can\'t take it anymore,
She wants her life back to normal,
The way it was before.

But she loves her new friends,
With all of her heart,
it\'s so confusing,
she doesn\'t know where to start.

She has best friends here,
That never let her down,
And her old friends back home,
Only push her to the ground.

So why does she feel the yearning,
To have life the way it use to be,
Her old friends don\'t lover her,
The way her new friends do- you see?

Choosing between two,
Is just so complicated,
If she chooses one,
The other will feel hated.

She\'s out of ideas,
Her life is all wrong,
No matter what,
She doesn\'t belong.

She can\'t pick between them,
She can\'t make the decision,
It\'s like when a doctor,
Is forced to make an incision.

It has to be perfect,
Without a mistake or flaw,
But she knows in this decision,
Someone will hit the wall.

Can someone choose for her?
Tell her where to go?
This just isn\'t fair,
Her self-esteem is low.

She needs to be sure of herself,
The way she used to be,
Before all the pain,
When she used to be free.

She has to think quickly,
Because time is running out,
All of this confusion,
Makes her want to shout.

*I know it\'s not the greatest...it\'s just what was on my mind....*
