This Girl

This girl has strong emotions
twisting themselves into
a giant knot in her head.

She's bottling the pain up
trying to relieve the pressure
of what`s been done and said.

It's eating up her energy
and pulling her away
from the ones she loves.

She's afraid to tell her friends
that she's internally bleeding
sick of what is and what was.

This girl slaps on a smile to
convince herself and everyone
that she's perfectly fine.

She continues to be this way
hiding how she's feeling
without one suspicious sign.

And forever this way she'll stay.
Choosing to live a lie,
an endless act in reality.

'Cause she doesn't want to
inflict anymore hurt on her
great friends and broken family.
