there is a girl who sits in the corner
her heart is crying out
there are people all around her
but no one seems to hear her shout.
Her life was once happy
And full of love and care
She was always laughing
there was always someone there.
But now her life seems empty
what's missing she doesn't know
she wears a mask everyday
her true feelings she doesn't show.
Her once colourful and cheerful life
Has turned so dull and grey
She once enjoyed her group of friends
But now she wishes the away.
For when she is by herself
She can break free from her shell
She can let the unhappiness break free
And unleash the devil from hell
Cause at the end of the day
when everyone is asleep
the misery surrounds her
and the pain it cuts so deep
she wants somebody to listen
somebody to understand
but when she opens up
nobody lends a hand
she waits until the sun finally sets
to open up once more
but this time not in words
but it results in terrible sores.
These sores cry their tears at night
The tears are a deathly red
When they cry she feels a release
From the terrible pain in her head
Some people would say she is crazy
Some people would say she is mad
But she can't resist the temptation when it arrives
Even though she knows it's bad
No body will ever understand this urge
It's something she can't explain
She feels shame for the scars in her body
But always ends up doing it again
You see this girl is a victim
Of something she can't quite comprehend
Deep in her heart she knows she must stop
For she doesn't want her life to end
But for now, it's the only way she knows
To stop feeling the loss of love and care
Cause at the moment she's invisible
No one notices her there.
