surrounded by so many, yet she feels alone in this world
not very often do you see a real smile from this girl
she pretends to be happy, hiding her pain deep inside
outside she is living, but inside she has died
how long will it be 'til she can take it no more?
when will she find just what she's living for?
how long will it be 'til they see through her act?
what if by then it's too late and there's no turning back?
with arms wide open those who love her offer her a safe place to confide
"hunny we know something's wrong and we hate to see you cry"
attacked with questions she has no answers to
"mom, i just don't know...i don't know what to do"
she buries her head as tears stream from her eyes
how can she feel so empty, yet so full at the same time?
thoughts race through her mind, she thinks it must be her
thinking she's done something wrong and this is what she deserves
litearlly she knows it's not, that it's chemical imbalances inside her head
but all she can think is that she's probably better off dead
according to her she does nothing right
sitting in class, the tears she has to fight
"i'm so stupid," she thinks, "what am i doing in this class
i'm not smart enough for this, what it takes i just don't have"
lying on her bed she stares blankly at her book
this should have been so easy, but hours and hours it took
things she used to love just aren't fun no more
instead of being with her friends she'd rather stay alone indoors
she has no patience for anyone, her moods are up and down
sensitive to everything, one little comment said nad her world crashes to the ground
what are you supposed to do when you're on the outside looking in?
and all you want is for her to be happy again
it hurts to see someone you love suffer through so much pain
hurts even more to know there's nothing you can do to make it change
i try so hard to make her understand, to get this girl to see
that life isn't long enough to spend being unhappy
i feel like a failure when i look in her eyes and all i see is fear
and then tears fall from my eyes as i realize i'm staring into the mirror
