A whirl of emotions, she is lost in confusion
Settling down is but a sick illusion
Thrown into reality, a girl growing up too fast
An adult among children, the outcast

Knowing pain all too well
She cries at night, but you could never tell
Always a smile to hide the pain
Working so hard to hide the shame

I am in your class, on the bus, and at the store
But you have never noticed me before
I hide behind my smile
Dying inside all the while

Reach out to me and be my friend
Because tonight just might bring my life's end
