Silent Cries of the Purest Heart

Sobriety never was an act she played well and these
Implications of the golden years are getting just a
Little old. Her act is overrated and she`s lost what
Elegancy she may have had when fake smiles were
Never a question. She boasted them so well, lying
To the rest of the world when she flashed a mediocre

Ceramic smile, holding her head up high. She was in the
Right state of mind, or so she led everyone to believe, but
Intoxication always did have a middle name, and in
Every sad story about a teenage girl there is
Some little joke -- a hint toward the simplicity of

Oppression in a life so full of angst and bewilderment.
From what has been said on this case before, in all of

The sincerity that the witnesses
Have been able to muster up, it seems that words just
Echo through the stubborn minds of youth these days.

Purity never was a hard thing to find, but in a
Uniform competition to be the most rebellious, it`s
Rare to find a girl that isn`t hung up on being
Eminent among everyone else that
Steps an inch toward her. It`s ironic, how a
Trend of being the smartest and

Healthiest has quickly shattered into not
Eating at all and a room so pure is filled with the
Aroma of alcohol and weed. Or maybe it`s how these words will be
Regurgitated with all the rest that they ignore, swallowing
The silent cries of the purest hearts.
