Doubled The Roses
As she walks through to doorway
She feels like she's alone
There's no one there for her
All she wants is to go home.
Not like it's any better,
But she has to go.
Because no one wants her here anymore.
She hadn't been there long
When they finally lashed out.
They took her in the stall
And wouldn't let her out.
Everyone denied it.
So she just fell.
But when she got home, she was in a worser hell.
Who is this girl in the mirror?
Is she weak or is she strong?
Surviving is what she had been taught
But is it weak of her to keep it up?
She holds her books like it's her sheild
Plugs her ears like it will help
But no one will ever see the scars.
She wants to go home but pulls through
She tells herself she's not too weak
Because she has no strength to double the roses.
Oh, she calls herself a girl with a secret strength
Waiting for that to surface
But she has to face her fears
Or else the tears will drown her.
She wouldn't make it out alive.
But now that she knows she'll never take her life
She can live happily.
She knows that when she's eighteen she will have a life.
And she'll live
Because, who would want to double the roses?.
