Though She Knows

by Gem   Dec 15, 2006


She's back on the drugs again
Though she knows it isn't right
Every day's another battle
Every day's another fight

She was doing oh so well
Following all her dreams
But underneath the surface
Nothing is what it seems

She had the perfect boyfriend
Perfect job and perfect friends
But everybody knows that
All good things come to an end

She sits alone in her room
Reminiscing about the past
She just wants to get away
Times changing way to fast

She's back on the drugs again
Though she knows it isn't right
Closing her eyes against the pain
Giving up without a fight ©

    An effective piece. You have structured it well and made use of extended vocabulary and some repetition. Though, to improve I would suggest finding an alternative for this line in particular:

    "She had the perfect boyfriend
    Perfect job and perfect friends"

    I know the point you are trying to make, but the use of repetition is perhaps not as good as your beginning:

    "Though she knows it isn't right
    Every day's another battle
    Every day's another fight".

    Explore different ways in which you can express how the girl had the 'perfect' life but through it away in ignorance due to drugs as you say.

    Overall, good stuff dude! ;)
