Nora


Nora is a new girl in school

she is cute, sweet, and smart

everyone always had a bet

seeing who can make her dart

little do they know the secret she hides

 

People bully her until she cries

and push her to the ground

at the end of school she goes home

to parents that joke around

little do they know the secret she hides

 

Nora sits alone in her room

tears rolling down her cheek

hating herself with all her heart

she becomes very weak

only she knows the secret she hides

 

The next day at school in her class

she gets praise for her work

not knowing what she writes is truth

teachers giver her a smirk

little do they know the secret she hides

 

In the hall people call her names

with no reason at all

Nora always wears long sweaters

even when its not fall

little do they know the secret she hides

 

Now back in her room once again

she writes her last goodbye

scars covering all of her arms

and there Nora will lie

Now they know the secret she hides
