Divorce


There once was a girl Disaster, Disease, and Death could not touch her She was invincible She dreamt of conquering the world Until the day her world was shattered in an instant Her perfect family was torn apart by betrayal and lies And in that instant her perfect world fell apart Tears that would not dry marked her face Her eyes remained bloodshot red for days But she had to keep a smile on her lips Be strong for the younger ones And in the hallways at school not one soul registered a difference As her world was crashing down around her She was filled with a new zeal to achieve Because all she had left was hope of the future Hope of one day conquering the world
