The Girl


She is the girl.

The girl who would rather be known as the girl who never fell in love 

Than the girl who fell in love

Only to fall on her face

Who won't try because she might fail

The girl who cracks jokes about everything

But runs when they stop laughing

The girl who is willing to hurt herself to make sure no one else gets hurt

Who will tell her life story to strangers

Because it's been bottled up for too long

The one who locks herself out of the world

She is the girl
