I am just a girl

People think that i'm just a girl 

A girl who lives a happy life 

That girl that always smiles

The one who always laughs

Only reality knows that none of this is true

I'm broken inside

Like shattered glass

Heart broken I'm lost in a maze that nobody can escape 

I smile because I tired of people asking 

I don't want people to know my story 

Because I don't want people to feel pity

I cry my river every night

Hoping maybe, just maybe one day

This will all be a nightmare

I want to go home

Is what is ringing in my head 

I want them to stop being mean to me

I want my parents to come back

I want to forgive

I want to be happy

Life is a struggle 

Take me back to those good times

The times were my mom held me not her drugs

Where my brother still cared 

Where my dad still loved me

I am just the girl who sits next to you 

The one that smiles and laughs

The one nobody knows her story
