This One Girl

by stefanie   Mar 21, 2007


I know this one girl who forces a smile
Thinking "I'll only have to do this every day for a little while."

I know this one girl who desperately tries to make her eyes shine
So no one will notice thatall she does is curl up and cry.

I know this one firl who tries to keep her laugh alive
Thinking "Maybe if I laugh, it won't be so hard to try."

I know this one girl who wants to keep her head up
So she can prove that she can actually be tough.

I know this one girl who can brighten up someone's day
Without them knowing she just wants to run away.

I know this one girl who wants to have fun and take life by the wheel
But is badly tied down by all that she feels.

I know this one girl who can't stand seeing others cry
And she knows that they probably have a better reason as towhy

I know this one girl who has just enough friends
But yet, feels she's all alone in the end.

I know this one girl who has tried so hard to do good
And yet, somehow fails to show that she could.

I know this one girl who lost sight of all the goodness
And sometimes wishes this life she could just finish.

I know this one girl who's tired of failing and being a let-down
But yet keeps doing it, leaving herself with nothing but a permanent frown.

I know this one girl who's tired of trying
And finally, deep down inside, is painfully and slowly dying.

I know this one girl who has just had enough
But yet still keeps going, trying to stay tough.

  • Beautiful work. I can relate to thispoem as well. Your work is amazing. I feel like that girl sometimes. But I know others have it worse, so I try not to dwell in self pitty. If you know what I mean. Anyhow, 5/5 definitely.
