A Girl


Look at that girl So free spirited So energetic You wouldn't believe all the shit she's been through You couldn't believe all the pain felt and the tears spilt because of people who have hurt her You can't see the scars when they're covered up She doesn't want to show them to some people because she's afraid to trust then with something so special to her. Not just the surgical scars but the emotional scars They're still there Oh god yes they're still there And they'll never go away, no matter how far back they're pushed into her mind. So please, just because she doesn't look hurt on the outside Doesn't mean there isn't pain on the inside Don't judge her until you truly know her
